Seems perfectly normal to me. As has been said, it differs for everyone, but I can certainly tell you that when I stop that is exactly what happens, to the letter.

It is really important to get some help in place when you stop. It is not enough to just quit and not replace the drinking with anything. I just picked up again because I haven't done this properly so I'm not preaching, just hoping maybe others could learn from my mistakes.

This illness keeps itself going by destroying all your relationships in my experience so that when you do hit bottom and try to stop, you have nobody left except professionals, the AA and people like this for support.

Keep posting and reading here until you can get to a doctor. The desire to isolate yourself is normal, common and understandable but it is also the worst thing you can do.
