Something important to keep in mind is that for reasons medical experts can't quite explain, alcoholism continues to progress even when we stop drinking.
That means that your tolerance/craving level will be where it was as if you had *continued* drinking for the entire last year.
When I first learned this I didn't really believe it, because it doesn't seem to make medical sense to me. But then I relapsed. I had always been a wine drinker, and when I started drinking again I went almost straight to vodka and was drinking far more heavily than I had been when I quit. It was very weird and there was no other way to explain it. Just please keep that in mind, and be careful.
