Thanks guys. My AV's telling me that I can have one last night of drinking and then go in for a detox. I know it wouldn't be that straightforward, it would find a way to trip me up again further down the line. I'm going to phone them up tomorrow morning and tell them I'm two weeks sober. I'd rather they give my place to someone who needs it more, but I'll go if they say there is support they can give me after physical withdrawal. I need to remember how awful I felt while I was drinking, and that getting drunk is never as enjoyable as I think it's going to be.

knb - No, I was on a drinking limit at the end of January and the beginning of February. The doctor put me on it while I waited for my detox, I wasn't allowed to quit on my own as I was at risk of having DTs (seizures, etc). It was impossible for me to stick with this limit as it was making me even more ill, and after 3 weeks of being on the detox waiting list I just risked quitting on my own.
