Withdrawl sucks. I thank God that I made it through my solo de-tox. Which, BTW, I would not suggest
Remember though, once you get through it, you've got a long road of recovery in front of you.
The two times I went through medical de-tox (inpatient) didn't help. I used to think that "if I can only get through the withdrawl, I'll be OK". That wasn't the case, at all.
What I needed, and finally found, was to ask for help, and realize this could not be done solo. God got me to AA and found me a sponsor. I've got 69 days today, after more than a decade of heavy drinking.
