If you are concerned about the consequences of withdrawls again maybe you should consider talking to your doctor. A doctor will be able to provide you with the neccessary advice and care to ensure that you are safe. If you have a commitment to go to a meeting tonight you may want to consider still going. The only requirement for AA is a desire to stop drinking. People still attend if they are / have been drinking. Today could be the starting point of a great new sober life.
