Well then...
Three days in, are you.
Just a FYI link, in case you need it...
http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/withd.../aa000125a.htm

The special sweats, the anxiety, oh yeah... A million times over my resolve would crumble at this time. I think that the self-loathing is a characteristic common to most of us with substance abuse problems. Even stone cold sober, I can still let myself go to that dark head space.

Idea...
Thinking of good things about ourselves, our best attributes, the things we actually like about who we are, can only have a positive effect in the early days away from the drink.
Withdrawal and detox is never fun.
But it doesn't last forever, and there is much that can be done to help your mind and body return to balance.
