Thanks so far for the replies. I hadn't even thought about getting rid of the bottle of wine! I guess why I haven't is because in the back of my mind I was planning on drinking it - that's what I'm used to, but since I want to cool it and stay sober at least for a while for now, I guess that's the best thing to do. As far as consulting a doc about this problem, I have not. I've only had mild withdrawal symptoms after my latest binge... the sweating, shakiness, confusion, nausea, etc. I feel fine now minus the cravings every once in a while.
I promised myself that I wouldn't drink this week and I intend on keeping that promise. Then I'll work on next week..
