I ended up going to the doctor last Thursday, the anxiety and panic were too much. I got some anti anxiety pills, non habit forning, not benzo's. They don't feel "good" which I'm glad about, I don't need any more bad habits. I haven't had a panic attack since Sunday and I'm doing pretty good. A little foggy. Drinking has crossed my mind a handful of times but I play the tape forward.

My husband doesn't care if I drink or not. I told him before I quit that I think I have a problem. I told him I was experiencing significant withdrawal and felt my health was declining. He's not a drinker but he's very supportive, I'm glad for this as well. Even though he says, he wouldn't be disappointed if I drank, sharing with him that I think I need to quit has helped me stay sober. I can feel like a failure to just myself but once other sets of eyes get involved it's a lot harder to throw in the towel.

Here's to 19 more! Thanks for listening

I'm glad the doctor was able to help you.

Good for you for taking action. That's what it takes. Sobriety doesn't just happen.
I suffer from anxiety, too. And found that once I quit drinking the anxiety became manageable.
And great news about your husband. He sounds like a great guy with his support.

Yep, here's to another nineteen. Best to you and keep on posting, we're all here for you, too.
