9 days ago I thought I was going to die.

I have never experienced a panic attack before in my life. I had drank heavily pretty much every night for three months. I was at work and I thought I was having a heart attack, had the worst chest pain and felt like my head was going to pop. Went to the ED and my blood pressure was 175/130. My GGT level was at 257. The day after that I poured all my beers out and vowed to stay away for a long time. The first 3 days was so hard, I had tremors, horrible night sweats and felt like I didn't sleep at all. It's 8 days sober today and I'm finally having normal bowel movements, eating healthier and finally getting some great sleep. I've also been taking thiamine 3x a day and I feel like I insane amounts of energy that I didn't have before. I didn't realize how bad alcohol actually was... I'm finding myself so bored after I get home from work so I've gotten myself some kettlebells to workout and that's helped. Now I just need to give up smoking. I honestly can't believe how in 8 days I feel like a different person. IWNDWYT!
