Hi I am revisiting after a long absence. I am a recovering alcoholic. What came first the panic attacks or the alcoholism? Both I suppose. I have been clean for nearly two years. The panic attacks are more manageable these days although I still have them, 27 years and still counting. They usually last from 20 minutes to half an hour. After the first attack they usually stop these days, whilst I was drinking they would go on all day. I am on no medication, all the meds made me feel even worse. The last couple of weeks I get an attack just as I am about to fall asleep. So I thought I would come on the site to visit, either to chat or play a game. to break the cycle and distract myself. I opted for the game this time but the site tells me I must have at least 5 posts to play. So here I am.
