I am glad you did a medical detox. My doctor prescribed Librium for a few days, I didn't take it the full time. My worst day was day three, for some reason I remember feeling so on edge and ready to jump out of my skin. I am on Day 37, which is still early but the longest I have been sober since my son was born five years ago.
My withdrawals weren't horrible, but the first few days were far from pleasant. One thing I noticed last weekend was as I was helping my daughter put her earrings in my hands weren't shaking, they often shook when I was doing things like that while drinking.
There are days that are very tough, but I don't want another day one, had way too many of those. The physical withdrawals are bad, but the feelings of shame and defeat for me were equally as bad.
