I've been drinking since I was 15 and am 28 now. I just had a 9 day straight binge. If I wasn't passed out from drinking I was drinking. I'm on day 4 now. I actually had seizures and heard and seen things. I got sober once for a year and felt like I was "losing it" as well. Took me almost a year without a drop just to feel half way decent, so I gave up. I'm gonna start over this time. If you've been drinking for years and years you're not just gonna be recovered in a couple weeks. Best of wishes to you!
