Well rules are good to have. I was leaning towards alcoholism in my late 30s/40s. One rule I had nevertheless was to never drink at home alone and I never broke this. This held me in good stead for I was able to stay at home and stop drinking! Nowadays my partner and I just go for a couple of drinks on a Friday and that is that but I will never ever drink vodka again as that was nearly the ruin of me.

It sounds as though some breathing exercises or even meditation might help you. I have learnt to be as calm as possible because then I don’t suffer much from having fits. I now have 1 or 2 every 4 to 6 months.
