Dub:
You remind me of me in 1989. I had to get down on my knees and ask God for help with all the humility and dedication I could.
Then I got on my feet and committed to AA which I knew was my last resort.
You may not be as sick as I was but I highly recommend you don't let that happen....
All the best.

((((dubs)))). Youre not bothering us, you are one of us. About the panic attacks, I know how awful they are. Please see your doctor and ask about a beta blocker. I take one and it helps me so much. Please don't let panic attacks be the excuse for drinking/using. I had to face up to the fact I used a lot of things as an excuse to drink.
If AA isn't working for you, check out Rational Recovery and AVRT. it made so much sense to me. Please give it a look and keep coming back to SR. I hope some day, some one will say something or you'll read something that makes it all click for you. Please don't give up.
Love from your friend Lenina

Nice to see ya, Dub. Yes you can stop drinking. I did after 30 yrs. I'd just had enough of the misery and drama. It was no longer fun, and no longer took me where I wanted to go.

I think whatever program or method you use..You have to commit to it...Give it everything you got....I know for me...It wasn't what I did in rehab that keeps me sober...It's what I did when I got out.

No Dub, you are not screwed. You are here. Never ever give up hope.
I know you know this but the alcohol is making the panic attacks worse. Please see your doc again. It does not matter how many times you've been to rehab. The only thing that matters is now.
I also did the xanax/klonopin and alcohol. I know the craziness. You are right to be scared. It can indeed kill you.
You can do this, Dub. You can.

I was going to say what soberlicious said, the alcohol is not only making it worse, it's creating those panic attacks.
Go see a doctor and you can get help to stop and then do the work to stay stopped.
You are loved here. We care about you.
Love Always,

I had to hospitalize myself (44 days ago). Go hang out with a bunch of twenty-something heroin addicts, and you'll learn to appreciate the good things you have and what a horrible thing you can become.

That describes the last two years of my drinking...24 hour drinker...If I was awake I had a beer in my hand. I got so bad...I had panic attacks if I was running low on the stuff. Once I went to get more...It would calm me down just putting it in the trunk. I didn't sleep or eat...I'd lay down for a little bit at a time...Always exhausted...It beat me. I had to ask myself a question....What are you willing to do about it? Live or die. That's when I got busy....You can get out of this....Ask yourself what you are willing to do.
