Since drinking Beer, I have progressively gotten worse with panic attacks and depression. I have to quit. How?
I have to quit and it’s so hard as I crave it so much. I had my last been this morning and after waking up I’m so depressed and my panic attacks are out of control. If I quit today, when can I expect to eliminate my agoriaphobia, and have the depression and panic attacks leave. Please I need some help. I’ve been to three treatment centers and eventually the desire creeps in and I tell myself I can handle it this time, but always fail. I dont want to die and I dont want to live. I’ve let myself and housework go to hell and cannot get the courage to do either. I need positive advice, please. Thank you. For now I will use the name "I’m so desperate"

This is not a situation to let slide. You get to a therapist FAST and tell him what you told us!! You need to realize that this is something that you CANNOT handle on your own!! I am so sorry that you are suffering,l but you don’t have to suffer alone. GOOD LUCK and God bless!!!

Find a healthy addiction to replace the bad one. Exercise can fill the void, and you will feel better physically and thus feel better emotionally. There are people to help you, even if it’s just to listen to the bad day you had. Good luck, you can make it through this.

You have to figure out WHY you are drinking the beer. You are self medicating. You need therapy to learn how to handle your problems and face life as a sober person. You also may have an anxiety disorder which can be helped with therapy and medication. Concentrate on these things first and maybe eventually you won’t "need" the beer anymore. Get REAL therapy, don’t just go to a counselor. You get what you pay for when it comes to therapy. Many insurance companies have mental health included, though they only cover part of it. If you can’t afford it, contact the United Way in your area (if you are in the US) because they sponsor many many programs and have all kinds of information on programs that apply to your problems. You can look them up online and probably find info about the one near you, it’s usually categorized by county. Hang in there.

As you probably know the first month is hell,after that it’s easier.Plus you can’t cold quit something you have to do it gradually,like not drinking in the morning and reduce them little at a time.What also helped me was to jog, but in a nice area (park,lake,and not where there’s traffic).Drink alot of water till your stomach is full so you don’t want to drink any more liquid.
