I understand that this post is a couple of years old, but I am reading through this forum and this exactly describes what is going on in my head! I am 7 days sober now and have never ever in my life had thoughts like this and anxiety like this. I have been drinking heavily for 4-5 years now. And decided enough is enough. I cannot even remember what it feels like to be "normal"..... whatever that is. Hopefully you found peace. I am hoping for the same. This forum has really set my mind at ease tonight (a feat not easily accomplished in the past week).
