Hello Tamka

Really sorry to hear about how you are feeling

It's a really rotten problem I had to use it to control my anxiety it ended up controlling me

In the end I woke up to the fact that yes it's great to self medicate and get that lovely calm can do anything feeling but then it makes anxiety far worse and is a depressant

If you have been drinking a lot for a long time you mustn't just stop try and limit what you have in the house and aim for not having it in the house at all if you can the temptation is gone your health will improve and you will be able to replace drink with relaxation techniques which will leave you with lovely feelings instead of shaking headaches sickness and depression

I very very rarely drink now when I do it's an odd glass socially never on my own

Have a look on you tube for relaxation videos there may well be one that helps you with alcohol there are so many for all sorts of problems

Once you get the alcohol out if your system you will feel so much better

I'm not making light of your problem as I know how awful it is but to be free of it is the best feeling in the world Good luck
