I have had that feeling plenty of times. My heartbeat increases and my blood pressure rises after drinking heavily....I feel anxious and miserable. A lot of people, including myself in the past, will take a sedative instead of a drink to help with anxiety. That can lead to another dependence, of course. Best bet, is let your body balance itself out by not putting the drug/poison in your body in the first place. I have 31 days today and feel soooooo much better emotionally, mentally, physically. I know I have a lot more healing to do and will eventually get around to spiritual growth and maturity. Stay away from that first drink. Exercise, take a walk...tire yourself out and then get some good sleep. Best of luck to you.
