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 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 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.
