So I just had to call 911. I got really dizzy and lightheaded and my vision started to go black. I thought I was gonna pass out and I'm home alone with two kids. We have a blood pressure cuff at my house for whatever reason, and I checked it and it was 139/109 . So, I called my sponsor and she told me to call 911. Turns out I just had a massive panic attack, EMS didn't think I needed to go to the emergency room but insisted that somebody come and stay with me while I'm here with the kids by myself. My blood pressure return to normal but I still feel crazy. The EMS didn't think that I should be house sitting alone with the kids this early in sobriety. I agree.

Glad you are okay for now. I hope you did find someone to stay with you.

I'm glad you called 911. Do you have anyone who can come stay with you for a while ?

Everyone I know is away this weekend, it's literally the craziest thing. I'm actually housesitting for my parents. My sister my sponsor and my best friend are all camping. They sat here with me for half an hour while I try to find somebody to come and stay with me, I finally just set it up saying somebody is on their way so they feel okay to leave. I had heard on the radio that somebody had just overdosed on heroin and they were calling for backup. This disease.......

Camping or not maybe a phone call or two could be helpful LScotty?

I did call, and had plans to go to a meeting but apparently the meeting was canceled tonight for some event at the church. This kind of anxiety is the stuff that makes me relapse so I am pretty scared. Just keeping my head down until tomorrow morning and see what that brings.

I used to have those types of panic attacks both while hungover and in early sobriety.

I was sent to the ER a few times as a result.

It was purely alcohol related. Solely.

Really hope your feeling more grounded.

Thanks guys feeling slightly less like I'm going to keel over. But I know this is an up-and-down process I'm just holding on for now. I am prepared to sit through this crap sober. Makes me feel committed and that gives me hope.
