4th day done
I have been reading these forums quite a bit and have found them very helpful.
Currently I am very grateful to have a good support network that I can lean on ;gf, mom, dad, even my friends that drink a lot have been supportive. I have never attempted to stop drinking before, so this is all new to me. I am a 28 years old and have been binge drinking on weekends up until about the time I was legal age. Then it seemed to be nightly for a few years.
About 5 years ago I moved to where I am now and had a gf I lived with for about a year and a half and had at least one drunk night a weekend.
We split and since then I had been drinking heavily but what I thought was under control, keeping a job paying bills. I currently have a gf that I live with who is fairly normal. In the last few months my drinking had increased drastically up to the point I would drink a 26oz a day then go get more beer.
I finally had enough so here I am.
I also have a question for everyone. How long did your detox take in total?

I would just like the sky rocketing blood pressure to quit. It was 160/100 yesterday then back down to 136/72 today. Crazy. The dizziness and vertigo could go too.
I just hope the vertigo is gone so I can work.
Thanks for all the replies everyone. So fast too!

Welcome 1standlast 
Detox is different for everyone. We can't give you any guarantees over the net.
It's uo to you, but I usually recommend people see a Dr cos detox can be problematic, or even dangerous, sometimes.

I have been to the doctors 3 times already. First night with horrible shakes, and really hi BP and heart rate. They hooked me up to an iv with some vitamins and 2 bags of saline, gave me 2 mg at ativan and sent me away. I have also gone 2 more times. Today I went to get a referral to get my liver and kidney functions tested, just in case. I am sure they are fine though. Hopefully just 2 more days of the physical then back to normal minus the drinking.
