Day 6 no alcohol

Don't know what's going on but I woke up and my anxiety is through the roof. I'm so uncomfortable.

Re: Day 6 no alcohol

@MG2879 makes perfect sense. A lot of people with anxiety self-medicate with alcohol.
It’s not until you stop drinking alcohol that you realise that you need medication.

My uncle went through this.

Hey @MG2879

I first want to acknowledge the strength you have going into day 6 of having no alcohol, that's a really big achievement!

I'm so sorry to hear that this morning you were experiencing immense anxiety, which sounds like made you very uncomfortable. I wanted to check in and see how you are feeling now? Is there still anxiety there for you? What are some things that you have tried, if any, to help ease this anxiety and discomfort?

Please know that you're not alone in this journey, and remember to take things one day at a time. You are already doing the best you can, and I'm so proud of the progress you've made so far!
