It is a fact that alcohol is a depressant and causes or worsens that situation. Same for anxiety. For me, in the months after I quit, my depression went away. I also felt much more able to face life day to day than I did when I thought booze was helping me.
Alcohol is the great illusion. For years, it wasn't helping, it was keeping me sick ....and it only got worse. I wish I discovered that when I was 25 !

After a bit, you realize the daily hell of drinking/hangovers was waaaaaay worse than you ever thought at the time. Free yourself!

Step 1: Stop Drinking
Step 2: Go to your regular doctor today (tell them its an emergency and they will take you right away) before withdrawls present themselves. Be honest and tell them you are withdrawling from alcohol and explain all symptoms just as you did in your first post
Step 3: they will refer you to a doctor who can prescribe something, they gave me librium, to prevent seizuers and hallucinations lower heart rate. They will get you in same day as again its an emergency
Step 4: Go pick up your prescription and thank god or whoever that you are making steps to address your issues
Step 5: Come up with a real plan to prevent future relapses.
