Frightened

Hi all.well I am absolutely exhausted from trying to cope with the constant anxiety feelings which are part of early recovery and the tension headaches.Right from day one of quiting,which was 5 weeks ago,I have not had a single craving to drink.I read some posts about how hard it is to stay at home and just wanting to stay out of the house,which is how I felt.But sooner or later we have to go home and deal with all the thoughts and feelings.I am ringing my Doctors surgery in an hour.Been putting off doing this.

Hi Maidennz.Just spoke to my doctor on the phone.He confirmed what I have learned from You all at SR,that all these anxiety attacks,felling fearful etc are all part of early recovery.I will make an appointment and talk things through with my Dr.But I don't want to take any medication.The support from you all is getting me through.Guess Its up to me now to make many changes to my daily routine.

I'm having the worse anxiety. I drank all weekend and here is is Monday morning and I wasted the whole weekend. I feel anxious and sick. I know I have to stop. I hope you feel better, and just keep breathing and try to stay calm. Anxiety sucks. But you are going to be ok. Chamomile tea works wonders for my anxiety, maybe you could try it if you want. I hope you have a great day!

5 weeks is awesome. I bet when you confront the issues you're dealing with at home some of that anxiety will ease up. Maybe not right away, but procrastinating never helps anxiety. Be easy on yourself....

You are welcome. I hope it helps you. I am feeling a lot better than I was earlier this morning. I'll have chamomile tea and hopefully be able to get some sleep tonight. Hope you are feeling better!
