Alcohol Induced AP - How did you get out of it?

Im so sorry i’ve been posting a lot recently, I just feel so lost with myself; So I am now on day 2 of sobriety (for like the 5th time in 3 years) I’ve taken the recommended medications to taper off safely from Alcohol. I’ve been in pain (around the typical pancreas areas) and having panic attacks / racing heartbeat all day. All I can think about is two things: I’m scared, how did I let this happen again, I need to stay sober, To instantly thinking maybe one more day, the pain isn’t that bad, I just have to wait for these symptoms /medication to reside, they aren’t as bad as they were last time (but I’m not even sure of that or if i’m trying to downplay my symptoms). I know Rehab is an option, but i can’t help but panic completely at the thought because of things such as my partner works FIFO, no one else can look after our dog when he’s away as she is reactive, apart from one person who also works long hours and is very unreliable even when he has nothing going on. Let alone the fact that i’ll be essentially imprisoned for 3 months, working towards basic rights such as leaving the house etc.)

I tried to talk about this in short detail but it became a fucking novel, I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis 71 days ago due to heavy, hard alcohol use (700ml vodka every night), i relapsed 7 days ago, pains have gotten worse, but also at times they don’t hurt in the mid section area but feel hard, i’ve looked it up i know that’s bad, i cannot get myself out of it. I logically know what is happening is bad, but I can’t even get myself to a doctor. I don’t want to be hospitalised. without being nasty can anyone help or did anyone go through something similair and what was your wake up call? i thought mine was acute pancreatitis but i’ve now noticed something scary can happen, but it fades very quickly for me and i go back into a ‘fuck it what’s the worst that could happen’ but i know what the worst is and how possible it could happen yet i’m still not getting it????????? like im stuck between knowing what’s wrong and what could happen but deep down i keep getting a gut feeling of surely not and it’s just not fucking sticking??
