I have had an anxiety attack this morning (3am) about alcohol (after having drank a bottle of Prosecco before bed). I feel bloated and panicked that it was my kidneys, did some Googling and more worrying and the likelihood that it is that (I'm mid20s) is very slim so I've decided to take this scare and make a new life for myself. I woke dp up (who wasn't annoyed) to talk about it, we both drink far too much in a normal week and we both decided that it was enough. I feel so sluggish after one glass of wine now that I can't function, I'm constantly tired and bloated and often nauseous. I think I have lowered my tolerance. I drink about 6 times a week, between 0.5-1 bottle of wine each time. It's not a need but a habit that both dp and I have gotten into and I want to stop completely, I don't even fancy the idea of an occasional cocktail on holiday. I know it'll be harder in practice and that this feeling will fade but it's like I discovered that I need to treat my body better. I'm overweight and need to take care of my health, for my sake, my kids and my wonderful dp. Sorry for the spiel, I just needed to tell someone. I'm just so excited for the future
