I found that when I attended meetings every day I didn't have to drink.
Go to the meetings and tell them about your panic attacks. Everyone I told said that they had them too.
I thought "You mean they go away????!!!!". Yes, they will go away.
Cloudy, some folks here say that they can do this on their own. more power to them..
I CAN'T, and you may be one of us. Wishing you the best.
