Anxiety when you stop drinking mid binge

[TiredofTalking]

If I drink 2 beers I have to drink more. And more.
And if I try to stop, I will get biggest wave of anxiety.
Will have pins in my stomach.
Will taste the cortisol and adrenaline in my mouth.
I’m afraid the anxiety will stay unless I drink more.
But I think this is one of reasons I binge.
Can you feel/taste the stress if you stop before you get to certain alcohol percentage.

I can't feel the stress when I drink. I don't really feel anything when I drink.

I will drink pretty hard with you tomorrow.

It’s like I don’t have drive for beer, won’t have much rush to drink.
Maybe feeling to have one.
But then it starts. And o end up drinking way more.
But even if I drink 1 beer, and stop: worst anxiety ever
2: oh ducking shit stressing for like 3 hours over nothing

Alcohol is supposed to reduce anxiety.

Alcohol is supposed to reduce anxiety.

I think it must be alcohol tolerance

exact same here.

I get super anxious and depressed after I have 3 to 5 drinks and just stop. i envy those who can just have 2-4 drinks after work and just call it a day.

Its because I feel the happy drunken carefree-ness coming (once I get to the 8-10 drink mark) but because I've stopped at 5, now that feeling won't come. And instead, all of my negative thoughts that I tried to get away from just come crashing back.

theres no such thing as moderation when it comes to certain drugs for certain people.

Some people can take a couple puffs of weed and just stop and feel totally fine. Others need to have 2-3 more blunts and have more smoking sessions throughout the week/month. For me I can have one weed session a year and be totally fine for the next 3-5years.

Others can have several drinks a year and be totally fine and not crave more alcohol. Not me. Its either I don't have it at all or drink myself to death every single week.

That is why i've decided to try to stop for good.
