I am an older woman and since I stopped drinking 8 or 9 years ago I have no "crutch" to lean on and find myself so nervous, I jerk my head, neck throat etc all the time.

I now, due to an injury, have a severely injured neck so the twitching is especially hurtful.

Doctor said IF i was this way since my teens it was Tourettes but I do not remember having this problem back then and a psychiatrist I was seeing for medicines (that did no good!) said he did not think I had it

I need to stop this but can't.

Any suggestions would be appreciated and I do not know where this should be posted.
