Panic attacks and alcohol

[MoJim]

I'm in the same boat CS. I originally was prescribed Inderal and it was effective while I was at work. I retired about six months ago and have noticed my consumption of alcohol has increased. Before retirement, I wouldn't get home till 6-8pm and would only have one or two beers. Now I start my habit earlier after chores are done. I really need to slow my roll!! I recently received some val's and hopefully will be able to decrease my alcohol intake. Any system, like more days not drinking than drinking are good ideas. I think I'll start writing down my daily consumption. I think the physical act of writing and then reflecting back on it a week later might give me that cold splash of water on my face that I need. This is a very good thread for many of us.
