I certainly don't think a period of not drinking will hurt - at the very least you may feel better and you'll soon determine if you have an alcohol problem or not.
Welcome to SR!

Thanks for the welcome. I am going to try it and see how I feel.
How long did my panic attacks last when I got them or how long did I have panic attacks for?
They were only maybe 2 minutes but felt like forever when I was in them. I finally figured out, for me, to get on my knees and breathe helped.
I can't remember how long I had them for but I know it wasn't long. I remember being in an AA meeting talking about the panic attacks and someone else had them too and I, like you, felt better immediately knowing I wasn't the only one.
I'm sorry, how long did the effects of the alcohol withdraw last? The kind of attacks I've been having last a few hours and it is not fun, as you probably well know. They leave me feeling quite strange.
