I’m currently on my 5th day sober. On my 3rd day I had a panic attack. I was able to deal with that with a walk in the cold fresh air. Today I’m feeling paranoid. Everything feels personal. How do I cope with this one? I fear if I just walk away from it the voices in my head will be the only thing I hear.
Day 5, your mind is probably on overdrive. All the feelings and emotions you suppressed while drinking are going to come out and be more pronounced.
You are going to have to fight through the first couple of weeks. Might not be a bad idea to get a hold of your doctor to help you cope.

Thanks! Happily, like my anxiety attack the other day this paranoia also passed. I feel better. I’ll just have to remind me that all these feelings will eventually pass.
