Congrats on the new job!
I saw my doctor on my third day of not drinking. I was brutally honest with him about how much I had been drinking the past few years. He made it very clear that if I suffered certain symptoms, such as vomiting, that my husband was to contact him or take me to the ER. DT's can be life threatening, and there are things they can do to help get you through them, but it generally has to happen in a controlled environment.
As it turned out, I got off fairly easily as far as my withdrawal symptoms went. Minor shakes, some hot flashes, and I'm still not sleeping very well.
My brain fog is terrible right now, and I am super grumpy. But this too shall pass.
Day 12.
