well i've quit drinking 2 days ago after 3 years of heavy drinking (i'm still 20 years old)
i'm starting to feel anxious and nervous and my heart is racing
i feel like i can hear and feel everything around me and it kinda sucks
should i go out for walks?, do some meditation?, music? anything helpful ?
or should i see a doctor?
this is my first time without alcohol and now i can feel what the mean by withdrawal (i never believed it was this hard)
so again if anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it cuz i'm kinda doing it all on my own.
and of course ....... thanks

I would go and have an honest chat with your doctor just to be on the safe side. It is natural to experience some anxiety when quitting but some of it can be physiological. I found long walks helped me. It was a physical outlet for my anxiety and gave me the time to think things through without feeling like I was going crazy. It gets better, hang in there x
