I recently found out that I would be considered an emetophobe, and previously I did not know such a thing existed. I have not had a drink in about 3 years strictly because of the n( I think I'm not supposed to say the word here, right?) And the ensuing anxiety over having it. The last few times I drank I woke up in a complete panic in the middle of the night, anticipating having the extreme n in the morning. Sometimes it was not even that horrible, but worrying about it being bad was 10 times worse. Also, I realize that the n* always seem to come on later in the day, so I would wake up fine and then slowly get worse throughout the day.

To be perfectly honest, I really miss having a drink or two and would like to have one sometime soon, but if there is no way around the anxiety or the n*, then I will have to skip it forever I think.

Has anyone dealt with something similar, or have any words of advice?
