Its tough, but I refuse to entertain the notion that the two are mutually exclusive. I put myself in this position. It's my duty to come out of it in the best way possible. That's what fighting is all about. Not just detoxing, but fighting for the continuation of your life.
I am an attorney as well. No excuse. You are not doing yourself nor your clients any good in your condition. To continue to drink may cost you your career. I wish you the best. The advice about seeking help to detox is spot-on.
