So sorry to hear this. I myself suffered withdrawal seizures when I attempted quitting. It came out of the blue and I had absolutely no idea why they happened. Only after my 2nd seizure did I realize that they had been caused by alcohol withdrawal. Most alcoholics who are physically addicted like I was (and like the one you describe from AA) are often completely incapable or unaware of the danger they are in. This is as good of a reminder as any: if you're getting the morning shakes, DTs, tremors, or drinking heavily - please see a doctor and keep all detox options on the table.
