Thank you all
Thank you all for your kind words. Its been 16 hours since I had a drink. Waves of anxiety and panic have flown over me all day, but in the grand scheme of things its a good sign. No tremors, no uncontrollable shaking, I can still think and type clearly, and have not thrown up at all today (sorry to be so graphic, but things like this arent pretty). Alcohol withdrawl can be a very serious thing, but often times the worst cases come on after just a few hours. Every hour I can make is a positive sign.
I have not slept for 20 hours now, and have a headache which is caused by my strained eyes (eye close them, it goes away- see what I did there!). Havent eaten much, but did not want to flood my injured stomach with too much yet. My goal is to increase it again tomorrow.
I will keep posting on this as as I go through it. For those of you that are religious, I would appreciate your prayers. Even though it may not be appropriate to ask for prayers for yourself!
