Wow... that was ALOT to read. And I learned more and saw more similarities to so many people. I think I may do what you are doing ZaB and journal/post often. When I joined today, I posted that I was going to quit Monday because I have to go to a conference (I drink between 6 and 12 beers a day or 1 or 2 bottles of wine a day... except weekends..then it's ... hard to count ). I will have support of my sister there and be in a different environment but maybe I'll do that today, just maybe. I don't know if I will have DTs or not. I went camping with my cub scouts a few weeks ago and when 36 hours without anything and did sweat a little and felt sort of nauseated. I on occassion, if I have binged over a friday and into saturday night, I will get chills and sweats off and on, but only when i binge which is fairly rare. Anyway, please keep going. You have inspired me.
