Hi Ice,
Welcome!
I am so sorry for your loss.
It's good that you have talked to your dr and he has put you on librium. I had to get my depression treated before I was able to stop drinking. Without the medication, I just didn't care enough to put the effort into sobriety that I needed.
Stopping drinking for 3 days is great. You have taken a great step and we are all here to offer support.

I was sick for about a solid week.....felt semi-human after that for about two weeks. After a month, I was feeling pretty good physically. I wasn't drinking 197 proof everclear, I was up to over a fifth of 100 proof a day thought. You are probably half way to feeling okay, don't give up!!! You don't ever have to feel sick like that again, and you should get a little better every day now.
Good luck, SRH

My story of withdraw is in "What to expect" in the Alcoholism forum. It wasn't pretty.
