Goal 10 days
Ten days is huge. Are you kidding me?
I just made up my mind that I wasn’t going to do it anymore. Rehabs, 12 Step and therapy just reinforced it.
You can do this. It’s really as simple as not lifting a glass to your lips. It’s not EASY, but it’s simple. The what is a no brainer. The how can keep you distracted long enough to become someone who no longer drinks and/or drugs.
I hope if you are in mental or physical distress you have some medical recourse. Detox and withdrawal are no joke.
At this point the strongest thing you can do is to reach out and accept help from whatever sources you can find.
Stay with us please.

I especially echo that last line- "stay with us please"!!
There is lots of support here- have you seen the "Class of" threads? People quitting in May are still in their 1-10 period too!
I am also a 12 stepper and AA has saved my life. At the beginning I was so sick I just had to get through each day. My drs helped too.
I was a completely wretched drunk and even I wasn't hopeless.
Please decide you want to be sober- as noted above, it is simple to not drink, but it is not easy.
Best to you- you can do this.

English hospitals from what I gather don't offer detox facilities. You need to go to a special detox service but the process is slow. It takes weeks to get referred. They advise you to carry on drinking whilst you wait for support.
I was pretty much all alone. The experience has made me never want to drink again
