I remember my first beer, too.
J/K. What about night sweats? That's the worst part of when I take a day off.

Alcohol withdrawals.

AA can't hurt, Stay busy-find a hobby, Get outside and exercise. You will eventually have to face the sorrow that caused the self medication. Physical exercise truly helps with emotional well being. kudos to you for recognizing and stopping, Just don't start back.

Exercise is key--I don't mean go to the gym if your not a gym guy, but go for a walk if you feel anxiety

Check it out. I've been researching this product and have heard it works for all types of neurological conditions.
Did you happen to see the price tag on those suckers as well?

Kinda late to go for a run, but tomorrow if you can, get some exercise to do something active
As bad as I hate running this is some solid advice. It really helps with everything

Umm..have you gone from consuming over 650 grams of sugar a day to under 50? It's similar to drug withdrawal.
I've done both more than once and you are waaaaay off with this take. The alcohol/drug withdrawal is worse and it's not even a question. Although, I will give you sugar withdrawals are not very pleasant. But it doe not compare. At all.

Sounds like you need a drink to ease your nerves

It gets better. I drank practically every night for the last 3 or so years. Issues with depression, drinking to forget problems, drinking out of boredom, etc.
I haven't completely quit drinking, but my rule is to only do it socially and it's worked for the last month or so.
I had some ugly physical issues when I was drinking - dangerously high blood pressure, shakes, rapid pulse, etc. All that stuff is gone and I'm feeling much better. It took about a week.
I'm still having issues with sleeping through the night. I'll wake up every couple of hours and be up for an hour or so. That will probably be a pretty long term issue for me though considering how long I was drinking regularly. My appetite is OK. I was told I would start craving sugar again but that hasn't happened. I'm on a keto diet and it's no issue. I've also been going for a run/jog 4-5 times a week. That clears my head and lets me get out some of the toxins and negative thoughts.
Good luck. Just stick with for a day at a time and it will get better.

Milk, yougurt, cereal in the morning..about 120 grams right out the gate, 2-32 oz Powerades, pasta or white bread (4 slices) for lunch, 24oz fruit juice serving at dinner along with more processed food...that shite adds up super fast. Think that's bad...sodium is far worse. Average daily consumption of sodium per American is over 4,900 milligrams...or 2.3 times the daily limit IF you are active. Many people consume that much in a single meal. Duke University put out a study 3 years ago that said if people cut their sodium and sugar intake in half immediately, over 5.7 million people would avoid hospital visits naruonwide every year and over 300,000 people a year wouldn't die from some related health issue tied to sugar and sodium intake.

do NOT take any anti depressants, IMO
Ive had several different doctors try and put me on antidepressants and only once did they actually make me 'better'.... i was basically so spaced out that I was a zombie. I was recently given an antidepressant as a sleeping pill.. . But not told that it was an antidepressant. It royally fricked me up because I wasn't taking the 'sleeping pill' consistently like you need to with an antidepressant.
I think the xanax/ativan way to go is best. Will help calm your head so you can sleep.

Why would that be a long term issue? Drinking affects my sleep. It'll cause me to wake up - typically always at 3:00 A.M. Why would not drinking continue to wake you up?

I run into this as well after a long weekend of drinking. I am super tired but can't fall asleep.

Sorry for the loss of your dad OP. Sending you love and light! Perhaps talking to someone about your grief would help you put that energy elsewhere besides drinking.
As for the stopping drinking, a family member of mine struggles with it and uses r/stopdrinking sub because there is a lot of support there and other people trying to do the same. Maybe some people there who would understand the struggle.
Try meditating. I would stay off the benzos. As others have said, I wouldn’t be a bad idea to let a doctor know you were taking these steps.... but pharmas are easy to get addicted to as well. Do the best you can to separate the pain you’re feeling from the withdrawals from the pain your feeling due to the grief. Both of them will have to be addressed in order for you to find that happiness you had before.
Best wishes to you

ETA: serious alcohol withdrawal can be deadly without medical supervision/prescriptions, and I have no idea what constitutes “serious.” So maybe look into that.
Alcohol withdrawal is the most dangerous kind and can be deadly.

It’s no joke
You should check into a medical detox possible rehab as well.
