that frantic feeling
sadly I guess I have seriously progressed further - because most days quitting is forefront in my mind - but seriously when your mind & heart is physically racing at that time at the start of a day about quitting...wtf??

Have you thought about getting medical help for the racing heart and anxiety part of the detox? A few days of medical help is all that is needed to get past that part of it - it's not expensive and you don't (always) have to check in anywhere.
Dying inside mentally was part of my addiction. It's been all uphill since I quit. It gets better really quickly. It's worth it.

I messed my health up so bad DR told me to quit or die soon . When you quit you get your life back to live again . Does get better with time , but you have to decide to live your life . Not drink it way 
Was on anxiety meds for awhile at first . Took that frantic feeling away till I got more sober time in .

My friend's 89 year old father is starting to have some obvious health issues, including whatever is causing his distended belly, and he refuses to go to a doctor. He says, "I don't go to doctors. They'll kill me." He thinks they will find something wrong that isn't already there and then make it worse rather than treat it.
It's nonsense. It's just really not true. Start taking caring of you.
