Thank you for replying.
I have to say that I am not sober currently and have got myself to the stage where I'm not sure I could detox without medical help. I have been through the DTs in detox now four times and it gets worse each time, to the point where I get the shakes after one day of heavy drinking. I'm trying to keep a 'maintenance' level in me until I make some decisions.
