I'm a alcoholic I drink 8-10 for the last few months but been on and off it for a few years. pints of Guinness a night and also I have such a bad fear of dieing in my sleep. I'm scared that il die from alcohol or sudden adult death syndrome in my sleep. Isit rare? It's badly effecting my life and its making my drink more and its ruining my life. Thank you

    this might sound over-simplified, but have you tried cutting back or laying off the alcohol? Booze makes anxiety worse. It is not helping you, trust me. If you do things to improve your health, maybe your anxiety will subside. Find something you can do instead of drink when your anxiety starts up. its hard i know but give it a go.

    Now is the perfect time to do something about your drinking.  You could talk to your doctor-he/she can give you something to help you with withdrawals, and he/she will help you find a rehab place.  They have outpatient places, where you get a shot or a pill , once a month and have therapy on an on needed basis.  You are taking the right step in being concerned about it.  I have seen alcohol do damage to my husband and now my son.
