I would suggest that it's probably going to take quite a bit more time than 8 or 9 days for your mind to start readjusting. It may even take up to 10 days or more just for your body to fully detox from a physical standpoint.
Remember that alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, so when you take it a way your brain is not used to it. Things will be quite rocky for a while, it can take weeks or even months for things to start getting back to "normal" from that standpoint.
