This confuses me..Do you feel that at this point you aren't dependant on alcohol? That's quite a bit of beer, IMHO.
The only other thing I want to really express here, is that when I was drinking (which wasn't all that long ago at ALL), I too suffered from anxiety/panic, most every day. It completely disappeared when I quit drinking alcohol, and hasn't reappeared since. That's just my experience.
I wish you luck, people here are amazing and will be really helpful to you, I'm sure of it!
Well I'm 6'5" and weigh 230 so I don't feel this is THAT much beer.I guess in a way I AM dependant on those nightly beers , just to get to sleep.The last time I missed my nightly beer was in 2000 , When I had a bad intestinal bug/flu.
I had my first panic attack on the LIE back in the mid 80's.Had to pull over my heart was palpitating so bad.I've had it ever since , sporadically.
