I think it is possible I am at, or very close to, this exact point of transition. As I said, I have never ever had such a strong desire to drink my way out of a withdrawal as I did last night as as I do again now. I am feeling an increase in my withdrawal symptoms right now, heart-rate is now steady and shakes are minimal but I feel incredible anxiety all of a sudden, I think the realizations I have made reading this thread have brought this on.
