i went through withdrawals at home last week and it very nearly killed me. i should have sought medical attention but thought i knew better. i didn't. throwing up bile and blood, hallucinations and at one point i went to get water and just collapsed. my heart was beating out of my chest and i thought i was going to stroke out and die.

i've since spoken to my alcohol counsellor who underlined to me the very real danger of detoxing without medical help. i believe i was close to death and i count myself very, very lucky to be alive and typing this.

please seek some medical attention - even if only for a once-over.
