Thank you, well tomorrow is Day 1, I can only hope. As I said before, felt crappy this morning, not from a hangover, I never got those, but the anxiety issue. I appreciate your words of wisdom. Everyone. I can do this! |
I took a drink this morning to kill off my anxiety which I've had a history of for 30 yrs. Calling for my appointment in a little bit as they are not in yet. What do you all think they will prescribe? I already have Xanax then I rarely take and a very small med for depression, lowest dosage possible because I split it in 2. Thank you for your post!!! |
I live mid state around Orlando, about 10-12 miles from the Disney Parks and Seaworld. I suffer from anxiety as well. The thought of stopping drinking filled me with horrible anxiety as I wasn't sure what kind of withdrawal I would have, since I have relapsed before. Since some of your anxiety seems to be related to the actual quit, I would see your doctor and inform him what meds you have. He will tell you a dosage or even prescribe something different. My anxiety has lessened since I quit, though it picks up around normal drinking time. Even that, though, is lessening. I hope you can get an immediate appointment. I'll be thinking of you. Beautiful weather today - just finished golfing, which you should be doing. :) |
"I took a drink this morning to kill off my anxiety which I've had a history of for 30 yrs" I was taking 1/2 xanax in the morning for anxiety, which turned out to be from the drinking the day before. I haven't had to take that 1/2 pill since about my 3rd day of quitting. I'll bet you won't have to either. :) |

Good information, thank you! As for golf, it is a coincidence that I am playing tomorrow at noon, 1s time this year, last time was Oct 2017. Used to be a 5 hdcp, bet I'm not tomorrow lol!!! Good to know about the Xanax, is that was the Dr's generally prescribe for withdrawl? Good that you're golfing. YAY! It might take a few times golfing to get in the 'swing' of things. I almost had to re-learn and build strength after my shoulder surgery, since it had been almost a year since I had last golfed. |
