I know you're struggling and searching for the answers.
You can do this. Have you spoken to a Dr. about detox? You may need some medical help at the beginning, I did as well as quite a number of alcoholics/addicts.
Hang in there and keep posting. The Miracle will happen.
Love,
Judy

My Dr. doesn't know, Judy, and I'm totally ashamed.

I have gotten through this weekend, somehow, without a drink. It's strange, because I have sake and cognac in the house, but I don't like either and wouldn't drink either, but I really REALLY miss the wine. I go from being hyper to feeling empty.

Zuzu are you doing anything except simply not drinking?
If one changes nothing then nothing changes.
I spent 5 years simply quitting and that was it, I always wound up drinking again because I had not done a single thing to change me or how I lived my life.
I found out that in order to stay stopped I had to change me!!!! I had to change things I did and work on changing me as a person into a better me.
I had to come to the point where I could admit that I was powerless over alcohol once I put it into my body. I had to come to the point where I was willing to beleive that was more powerful then me could restore my sanity. I had to be willing to turn my will and my life over to the care of a Power greater then me or alcohol. I did a fearless and thorough morale inventory of myself, to share this inventory with a power greater then me and someone else, from this inventory I was able to gain a knowledge of my charactor defects and humbly ask a Power greater then me to remove those defects of character from me that held me back from being a useful tool in his hands. I took this inventory and listed those people and institutions I had harmed and become willing to make amends to them all. I made amends to all of them I could without hurting anyone. I continue to do this and to help other alcoholics to find sobriety.
I changed and once I changed I found happy sobriety.
