For me, the answer is absolutely. If I drink now, I get to the point where I need to be detoxed medically. Even after 4-7 days of that, I know I'm in for weeks of shaking, sweating, insomnia and a host of other problems. And it got worse and worse to get to that point. There is no doubt in my mind that it would be even worse if there was to be a next time. I don't intend for there to be a next time.
