Yes it is stupidly uncomfortable.
Once you have meds it won't be so hard.
You make a good point. I'll do 4 tonight then 2 sat & 2 Sunday just to make sure I make it to the doctor before the 24 hr alcohol free mark. I'll be at the doctor's office before noon Monday so I should be all clear to start meds. I'm ready to do this.
On a side note my sister just called me with a story of her blacking out and driving home from a bar with my other sister. Yikes. She's not quite ready to completely give it up I think and still thinks she can control it. Her mother (my ex-step mother) is currently slowly dying from liver disease. She started like us.
