Day 1 and a little panicked
I just wanted to post a quick introduction.
I have tried to quit/cut back on my drinking for as long as I can remember. I know it's not good for me and I know I need to stop but every time I tell myself I won't drink, I panic.
well, today I am going to get through the panic stage, and get through the day/night without drinking. I hope eventually the anxiety will lessen if I quit drinking but I'm not sure. In the past, if I didn't drink for a few days the anxiety would become unbearable and I would go back to the booze to help alleviate it.
Everything just feels so out of control in my life right now and I'm extremely overwhelmed. That's the main reason why I have decided to quit, once and for all. The alcohol helps me get through the day in the short term but it's making life impossible in the long term.
