I remember those thoughts of impending doom. Feelings of terror, bewilderment, frustration, despair. I felt hopeless, ashamed, afraid. I couldn't imagine life with/without alcohol. But I eventually began to see that I was slowly killing myself--that drinking wasn't adding anything positive to my life--not like I thought it did in the beginning anyway. There is hope! You no longer have to be afraid. Help is out there. And yes, like what was mentioned earlier--detox on your own can be deadly--especially with what you have described already. Seeing a medical professional is very important. And also being honest with them is key--not only to sobriety--but to your life. Keep posting. Keep reaching out. You are not alone.
