7 hours to go
I don't know if you've seen my previous posts. I relapsed after 4 months sober (AV convinced me that drinking water on New Years Eve was a bad idea... 
)
And a few weeks later and after a lot of stressful problems...I ended up binging again.
Last night I had a big scary AHA moment. First I read about alcohol and brain damage...then I had a gross accident that made me realize how much I was hurting my GI tract.
I stopped drinking right there.
An hour ago I started to panic, I am actually still shaking. And my AV was screaming to get a drink to stop this horrible withdrawal.
I still have 7 more hours to go until the 24 hour mark. I know it will not end there but 24 hours sober always gave me much more courage to go on.

sober Leigh is right, you might check with your doctor. Drinking is not the cure and will only prolong the agony, I know this from my own experiences.
you can do this.

I think it's mostly psychological. I am scared of not being able to control my emotions and my anxiety without alcohol.

It was scary but it didn't kill me. I hope they don't repeat, at least not as strong.

I'm eating a small bowl of steamed rice...a small improvement.
Oh I don't want to go through this again! It's worse than being in labour!
