Everything was going good until about 20 minutes ago
I woke with an intense sense of panic, like somebody was sitting on my chest and I was being strangled. Now it feels like my body was dropped out of a window, I can't stop sweating, my hands wont open and it feels like the bones are growing. I forgot how much this sucked.

Isn't it amazing that, once we're in it we suddenly remember how bad that feels yet, right before we picked up that memory - the truuuue memory - of how bad the price will be is completely unavailable??
You pound through this DV. It'll pass......and we all love you!

DV,
If you go to the ER they can get you safely through this with less discomfort. Once you're through it, you know what to do. You were talking about getting a sponsor. Ask someone to be a temporary sponsor.
Please take care of yourself--you can make this the last time.

DV we are all worried about you. Yes you've been through this before, but every time is different, and if you are gonna go through this hell, then make sure you're here to see the other side of it! Please be careful, and get some help! At least have someone on hand and ready to take you to the ER if and when you decide to go. xoxo

You can do it, DV. You know it will pass. Remember yesterday when you were feeling so good being sober. . .you will have that back and more.
I'm glad you are posting as you go through this. It helps. I know you make it through. . .you know what to do.
I think you have also realized this week how many people here are pulling for you, care for you, are here for you. . .keep posting when you need to.
Take care of yourself.

I'm still kicking. This might sound twisted but I'm actually glad I was curled up on the bathroom floor at 7AM this morning and physically unable to drive myself to the liquor store. Still feel terrible but that urge has passed and I'm going to try and get some more sleep. Thanks for listening.

I've been away this week and just caught up with everyone's posts. I'm both happy and sad for your situation. Happy you decided to try again and saddened your suffering like we all do when trying to get sober. It's a bi*ch. I know you've struggled for a while but I believe you CAN do this and come out the other end.
Your a wonderful person and have helped so many of us here on SR myself included. I want to say thanks, and to let you know I'm here for you as well as the many many people here who love and care about your well being. So keep reaching out and let your friends help YOU.
Don't give up DV. We're all fighting the same battle. Your not alone. I'm very proud of you and will keep you in my prayers.

Whatever it takes I guess is the real answer.
