Thanks all- I have my quit date as this Sunday. My husband is also an alcoholic but because he is functioning, he thinks he's better than me. He has hidden all my alcohol and I am going through serious withdrawals. I'm caring for my 20 month old son and am doing okay but I feel just awful as well as judged by him when he is no better than me. It's altogether a horrible combo. I've quit drinking about 5 times and detoxed with Ativan through my doctor all of those times. I am just to embarassed to do it again. I have had a seizure once (before my son was born) when quitting. I'm just not sure how to taper myself when I now have nothing. My husband won't give me anymore and is basically threatening me if I drink again.
