Hello All,
Thanks for your responses. I didn't respond yesterday because I was a little thrown by the idea that I would need medical detox. While I realize that I have a major problem with liquor, I would never have thought of it in those terms. I feel that my problem is after I have that first drink, not after I have stopped for a few days. It isn't unusual for me to stop drinking for as much as a week at a time, mostly because I am trying to diet. I have never thought twice about detoxing being hard on my body.
I read in another forum that people here are very careful of giving medical advice, so I went searching the net for withdrawl information. I read that symptoms can occur as soon as 6-10 hours after your last drink, but they may not start until 48 hours. It's been about 40 hours since my last drink. I absolutely don't want to be dismissive, but if I am still feeling OK tomorrow I should be OK, right?
