Hi LisaLisaLisa
Welcome

The thing about withdrawal is its unpredictable.

You could detox without apparent ill effect hundreds of times, like I did...you could feel no worse than usual after a drinking session, like I did.....and yet I ended up with several mini strokes on the night of my last drink.

I'm not suggesting that will happen to you - but my point is noone here can give you a cast iron assurance - you may be ok, maybe not.

People do have seizures, and some people do die from alcohol withdrawal.
It's serious business.

It's always good to check with a Dr or other medical professional.

Get a second opinion if you feel this other guy is acting in his own self interests.
