2-3 glasses of wine after work M-Th, but it was always a negotiation to not finish the bottle. More F-Su, sometimes binging to near blackout.

The end was a 5 week bender of 4-5 bottles a day on top of Lunesta at night, with alcoholic hallucinosis if I didn't drink for four hours.

When I finally saw my P-doc she firmly told me in no uncertain terms that I required medical detox and a 30 day inpatient rehab program. I left her office and said no freaking way, but when I got home and was shaking so bad until I drank half a bottle of wine, threw it up and drank the other half I called to check in.

Started the next day, 103 days ago.
