Lastnight I went out with a few old friends, First time I've been out in a pub in several years, I had a really good night but got slightly drunk, woke at the crack of dawn this morning unable to get back to sleep still drunk, but as the day has went on I have sobered up and have got very anxious, first time I have felt like this for a long time, I had my anxiety under control, Its hard to sit at peace, I feel very unedge and unable to relax. My mrs is going out for the day so i'll be home alone and my head is filled with scarey thoughts like "What if I freak out and go mad, there will be no one around to help me"
Any advice would be very much appreciated
Having a really bad day

I would stay away from the alcohol all together. there is nothing good about alcohol, It acts as a depressant, and is toxic to the body and brain. That is probably the reason you are feeling so bad today. I am 48 years old and have never been drunk in my life. It is a matter of will. I like the taste of plum wine, but if I decide to drink some it is only 2 ounces in one day, maybe once every two or three months. Alchol is horrible for people like us with, anxiety and depression. I hope you feel better as the day goes on.

You will not go mad!!! You came here didn't you? You're reaching out for help. Get out your program or where it says find on this site type in alcohol or help. Read the different forums even older ones. They will help. Do not touch any more alcohol because you know what it does to you. When friends try to talk you into it just say I'd rather not. If they press you simply state you have a problem with anxiety and it only makes it worse.
