It is my understanding that some sort of withdrawal from alcohol/drugs can go on within our bodies for several months after quitting. It is sneaky & can come on at anytime.

I was self medicating my Depression/Anxiety with alcohol for years....had been dx in the early 70's but only stayed sober a year here and there. I drank daily after work and passed the invisible line to where my body needed the alcohol for me to function....at the same time everyday or I would start into withdrawals with the shakes...couldn't write a check...so had to be sure I had cash with me.

My depression got worse & worse until I felt like I was going crazy even when drinking I did not want to drink..but did until I got help for both my drinking & Depression/Anxiety. A certain sign that my Depression is escalating is when I start getting angry with everything & everyone.

There are places you can get help without insurance...a lot of people talk about the Salvation Army...I went to the local Mental Health & since I was low income at the time was elgible for Medicade from the State.

I wish you luck & please keep coming back for support.
