I don't want to see a doctor. I'm physically fine. I know this from my recent 5-day hospitalization. Cat scans and daily blood tests. Until that time, I was in the best shape of my life. Suddenly, I'm falling apart.

I hope this is taken in the kind way it's intended. I spent a few years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Only to find out it was alcohol. I'm the person that people (STILL) say has so much willpower.
But I've found that high ability for control can turn on a person.....it's the opposite side of the coin to addictions, habits, eating disorders, obsessions, etc.
It's the same part of the brain (or chemical in the brain....I can't remember) that says: "go go go!" And the OPPOSITE says "stop stop stop!" We with drinking problems tend to get caught in the "go!" chemical/area in the brain. But staying in either area of the brain can cause problems. ...like a record skipping.
Researchers are learning so much lately that can help us. I hope this info is helpful to someone. The brain is a bunch of nerves and synapses and chemicals and alcohol makes it misfire. Makes us do things we don't want to do.

Sorry for so many replies in a row. Just had to say how much we all feel your pain, Susan. It SUCKS to feel how you're feeling. It's the worst. We have been there. The downward spiral that makes no sense. The "what in the h3ll is wrong with me?" feeling.
We are here for you throughout.
