Alcohol Withdrawal, anxiety, guilt, anxious

Posted by mattsit on August 3, 2004, at 7:04:40

Help!
Has anyone else expierenced this? I am now 26. From age 21 to 24 I drank heavily....probably 30-40 drinks a week. At 24 I stopped. Now it seems if I drink even 10-15 drinks a week, and then stop drinking, for the next 3 days after that I am incredibly anxious. Guilt over past wrongs creep up, and I find my mind racing wildy.
It seems to go away after 4-5 days. Is this a normal thing, having to do with alcohol withdrawal?
