who here was an alcoholic and quit?

this is me right now. i'm wondering in general how long it took for your anxiety to abate and for you to feel better in general. the anxiety is a killer, but i know i'll only grow stronger by making it through the tough moments of craving :feelsgoodman:

i quell anxiety with caffeine. it doesn't help but i do a lot of gardening.

the tipping point is when i got drunk and tried to choke my wife. she put me in jail and i damn near wuit except for the occasional 24ozer.

I took about 3-4 weeks to completely return to a state of normalcy where my sleep cycle was on track, I wasn't anxious and depressed anymore, and my drive for life returned.

This was enhanced, I believe, by focusing my energy on healthy habits like exercise and diet, and eliminating friendships which centered around alcohol.

I just finished an alcohol withdrawl and made a thread about it in "Other drugs" forum. Quite scary. Definitely something i will never do again.

Good luck. Its pure hell, but you can do it. Dont believe anything your mind tells you 

"im going insane"
"ill never feel normal again"
etc. etc.

My mom has been an alcoholic for the past, I don't know how long. 10 years? if not longer.

She's had one or two seizures, been in detox three times.

It's really sad, and this was the environment I grew up in.  If she keeps drinking she is going to die.

If you have kids, I really hope you stop, it does more damage to children than most think it does.  mentally at least.

I have been and probably still am an alcoholic. I just try and make sure to take enough time off from it to develop any kind of physical symptoms. Been around too many people that were hardcore detoxing to scare me away from that. Not to say that I couldnt eventually become like that myself.

Lately I've been far worse than ever before. I don't wake up thinking about drinking at all - but once I reach a certain point of the day, or if I'm working for example.. when I get off, I get an uncontrollable urge to chug on some straight liquor. To take the edge off.. although it's more than that now. I've been craving that white liquor. The vodkas, gins, etc. It's the absolute worst when I known I can't get it. Like if the store is closed. Or I am out of money.

i flushed my stash over 6 years ago, and i used to consume a pretty good amount.  lethargy, money, and fucking BOREDOM pushed me.  also i was getting pretty depressed.

i picked up exercise, caffeine pills, and COFFEE.  fuck mormons and their abstinence of "hot beverages".  coffee, and it's huge-one-a-day-shit effect totally mellow me out.  caffeine pills keep the depression away (tho they make me talk/think like a valley girl) and exercise keeps me engaged in a routine/hobby.

i still like to go places

I am. Working on quitting now. I'm lucky that I don't have a physical addiction, just a predisposition to overdo it in a severe way. I decided that I'm done having blackouts, I'm done getting arrested for stupid shit, and I'm just done drinking. Gonna miss craft beer and red wine for sure, but not much else.

Honestly, it feels great. I was depressed for the first week but now I feel so much better about myself. I can focus on keeping my mind sharp and doing positive actions in my life. I'm 22 years old, an alcoholic, and I'm finally going to grow up.

Good luck and strength to you man. Remember always that you're quitting for yourself first.
