Well first of all... my experience is pretty similiar to yours. AFter years of drinking and using heavy drugs, I cannot drink like I use to. I started drinking at 13 and using heavy drugs such as ACID, cocaine, crack, marijuana, pills, you name it... I gave up the drugs years ago but not the drinking. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I became very ill after drinking. I thought I was going to die... and it was NOT a hangover!! The entire next day you feel so foggy, its like depersonalization. Nothing feels real and I cannot go outside!! I cannot talk to anyone, i just cant wait for the day to pass so I can feel better the next day. But I keep doing it, I keep drinking, knowing that it makes me feel like shit. I have hoispitalized myself several times but I just cannot quit drinking. I have cut down though, but I still feel pretty crappy. I went out last night, I feel crappy right now. I know what your going thru... and it doesnt go away, unless you stop drinking. You and I both know that is very very hard. You CANNOT just have a couple of beers... you know that wont happen. After your 3rd beer, you feel so nice, you give in to the urges, and say "O Fuk iT, I'm drinking tonighttt". I have tried everything and I really want help. But I just cant quit and I am so tired of feeling this anxiety/panic/depression from drinking. Alcohol is your worse enemy.
