Hello everyone. I'm not sure really how this works, I suppose I'm just hoping for a little advice.

I haven't had a drink in 8 days currently, which is the longest I've been without a drink in almost 5 years, and tonight I started having panic attacks. I've had them in the past, but never without some sort of outside stimulus or stressful situation (car wreck, death in the family, etc.)

I don't want to drink, but I know if I do I'll calm down immediately. To be clear, I'm not asking for medical advice about the panic attacks (my doctor is aware of my anxiety) I'm more wondering if anyone's gone through this sort of thing, and if they got through it without having a drink, and how.

So sorry if this violates any rules. I'm desperate.
