New and scared

Hello

It has been 26 hours since my last drink after being on a 4 day vodka bender, I had 2 weeks alcohol free before this.

Yesterday I had nausea, shakes, sweat and insomnia, although I did not vomit which I have in the past.

Today I am still shaky and anxious,my question is, if I am feeling slightly better today, is it likely that I will go into severe withdrawal as I have read online that these can occur anything between 48 and 72 hours after you quit.

I am alone with my disabled sister and 13 year old son, so inpatient treatment or hospital stays aren't an option as there is only the 3 of us and drink has made most of my friendships disappear.

sorry for the long post.
