I am so thankful to have found this app as I now have something to occupy my mind. I have just completed 24 without alcohol and im terrified to go to sleep incase I don’t wake up again. The anxiety is crippling!

Stick with it . I promise you it will get better. I use to drink to get rid of my anxiety or so I thought. Very quickly I realised the drink multiplied my anxiety massively. The longer you are sober the less anxiety you will feel . Stay strong and stay on here.

hi and welcome, it’s going to be hard but sobriety is an amazing place to live when things settle down a bit. Read lots and reach out when it’s getting too much. You are not alone anymore, we all understand bc we are exactly the same as you and have been where you are right now. Remember it’s one day at a time and it doesn’t matter how you feel, it’s what you do about it. I wish you well on your journey

Oh my God wow yes same here! The anxiety is terrifying isnt it??? I thought I was going to have a heart attack in my sleep and die!!! I seriously considered going to the doctors today but I decided to give myself a break and took it easy at home drinking plenty of herbal tea, electrolytes and water. God what a nightmare alcohol addiction is!!! I hope your doc was able to help, what treatment have they opted for?

Thank you so much, I really took it easy today and tried to relax my body and mind. It means so much to have support. Ive been failing at quitting for about 20 years, I might have been more successful sooner if I had had you all back then!!
