Im In a pickle now...

Okay, as some of you may know I have posted on here about my desires to be sober. I havent accomplished it yet, but now have a question. I know most of you will say see a doctor, and depeneding on how it goes tonight I will.

So here is my question, I now find myself suffering a fairly severe case of the Flu. Of course with the flu comes a LOT of the symptoms associated with withdrawal too. I have gone nights at a time without booze, not in the last few months, and suffered terrible insomnia, night sweats, and nightmares.

Oh i guess this is actually the question: Any ideas how to know when it is one and not the other? I mean I dont feel well, and sure dont have a desire to drink, only I am scared that if I dont have a few glasses of wine I will be up again all night and only get worse. Have any of you experienced having the flu while also cutting out alcohol?

Now that I read that back it all sounds like rambling of sorts, but I just typed it as it came into my throbbing head.
