Well, in the meantime, you have today to deal with, trying to stay sober, and to ease your ongoing withdrawal symptoms. Can you think of things to do tonight that will keep you busy and safe? Assuming you're at work, drive home a different way. Don't go near a bar or a liquor store. If there's alcohol in the house, you have to consider that too.
Mainly though, ask yourself one question. Can I honestly think that I could have just one or two tonight, and then stop?
Trying to figure out if you're an alcoholic isn't really important right now, I think. What matters is that you get over the withdrawal hump, get some decent sleep and enough distance from your last binge so that you can think clearly.
And you can do it. You absolutely can.
