A new beginning
Well lets see... Ive been clean 6 weeks without alcohol . Been drinking off and on since i was a teen but it got worst in the past two years. I grew up with one abusive parent who was a drug addict himself.I suffered from panic n depression since i was young n alcohol numbed me. I became more social but in a negative way because i ended up dropping out of hs. I ended up getting my ged and went away to college where the binge drinking, pill popping and blackouts began! Of course i didnt complete that college and my drinking lead me to deal with men in unhealthy relationships such as abuse. I didnt want to go outside unless i had a drink. I never was one to drink at a bar so i would do all my drinking at home. I became clean enough again to finish college. I once again got involved with a abusive realtionship and had a child. Once we seperated the drinking got worst. I lost my mind. Thank god family helped me. I became clean for my child n me. Withdrawals were the worst!!! I never ever want to go through that again ! I began getting panic attacks. Even today im still suffering from anxiety. Today was a bad day but i look forward to the future. I choose not to pick up!!
At least by not drinking you're not producing more anxiety.
Congrats on your sober time.
Keeping it simple!

I was probably most anxious for about 3 months. It started to taper off the longer I stayed sober. Once I realized that I could cope without the booze things got a lot better. It just takes time.
And good job on 6 weeks!

Congrats on 6 weeks of sobriety Anxietygurl!! You are awesome! 
I used to suffer from severe anxiety attacks. They've finally gone away and feeling a lot more mellow since quitting alcohol. I think it messed with my hormones, which are finally balancing out now.
Sorry to hear today was a rough day. Tomorrow is a new day and I hope it's much better for you!
