Hello and welcome! I had really horrible withdrawals. Exercise did help so much. The best thing that helped and still helps...urge surfing. It's kindof like "ok, I'm gonna feel bad for a minute and just letting it wash over you. Knowing it will pass instead of freaking out. Hard to explain. Google it. Try it. It still helps me with anxiety (possibly the reason I drank to begin with). Come to the chatroom and talk.
