This is exactly how i feel. I have anxiety problems....especially in social situations. Alcohol calms me down and slows the tormenting negative thoughts. But the problem is i cant drink one glass. I cant stop until im drunk. I hate this.

I started with beer about ten years ago, it was great, I could talk to anyone, ask any chick out and so on. After a few years of drinking beer it lost its effect on me. So I started drinking vodka, during lunch breaks at work I would go to the liquor store and get 5 shots of vodka, nobody could tell I was drunk. Eventually 5 shots was not enough and I started drinking all day at work and at home until I got a DUI, lost my job cause my license got revoked. Sitting at home with no income and about $10,000 credit card in my wallet I started calling taxi to take me to liquor store, I would buy gallons of vodka. I would drink until passing out, wake up and drink more. This went on for a few months, it got so bad that if I didn't drink I could not walk at all to eat or shower or call a taxi for more drinks. I went to the emergency and told them what's going on, stayed in the hospital overnight, they sent me to rehab after, (worst experience of my life) and released me with some pills. It has been 3 weeks since my last drink, I'm almost broke with no job, a car I can't drive and hospital bills. I'm feeling the urge to drink now since I don't have much left to look forward to.

Are you deliberately being sanctimonious and condescending to help or just a natural personality flaw?

I am the same. Needing a few wines before going to work so I don't get the shakes. I no its really bad but otherwise I am shaking a few hours into the work day. Need to take time of to detox but work is so busy. Normally drink 2 bottles of wine a day and trying to cut down as per doctors orders.

some people that try to quit or do so altogether get symtoms oh hypoglycema and have trouble with blood sugar which adds to the withdraw symptom, finding a steady diet to what would help them totally recover and prevent diabetes is what most need to here about and there is medicine that can help the tremors or shaking hands but no one talks about it, recovery is a time phage that if some dont see results they only remember what brought them there and the depression of it keeps them there, need better advice not everyone can have a cold turkey moment and get through it

I need to know more from you. I have a family history of drinking and I really need some help right now and with you being an expert I can really use you're help. I drink an unbelievable amount every night and everyone at work has noticed. Unless I have been drinking I shake uncontrollably when I'm sober even the woman that's in my life has noticed. I have to take at least 4 to 6 shots of something hard to get me to stop shaking. I want to get back to the way I was but circumstances won't let me since I started drinking again. I have stopped drinking once so I know I can stop this again. I just need to know how to go about it. I will just about do anything for me to be able to be myself again. PLEASE message me back. I will be able to talk over the phone if we personal message each other numbers or over emails. I appreciate everything you do for me and people like me

I'm guessing it's dehydration in the short term. I don't know about long term stuff.
I was always a drinker who still managed to function at a stressful job the next day.
Now I'm retired, and if I drink, I feel shaky the next day and that day is shot. So my body just can't handle what it used to. Oh well. I still like to drink once or twice a month but it always turns out the same old way.
I have given it up for years at a time, but I never could do it alone. At my doctor's suggestion, I went to AA and it did keep me from drinking. I didn't have too much physical withdrawal but it was an emotional year. Then I moved and just lost my discipline. I was used to NY AA, this state does things differently. Nice people though. I'm not especially religious, and people think AA itself is religious but I would call it more "spiritual" in nature. I've known atheists who were happy in sobriety in AA.
Now I'm tired and lazy.
My family tree is full of alcoholics and I definitely believe there is a genetic component.
