DTs = Delirium Tremens. If you had "terrible DTs" you would be incapable of posting here. You are detoxing, to be sure but DT is not detoxing.
That said, you can die from detoxing, get your but to the Dr or ER as needed.

Thank you everyone for responding to me,and showing support.
I m into day 3 without vodka,without medical help.Not that my family and boyfriend havent tried to get me to a doctor ,even booking me an appointment which i just felt to ashamed to go.And to be honest shaking so much and panicking, i felt to frightened to leave the house.At the minute its baby steps, my family have found that there is an AA meeting everyday here.
Mum even went to see if she could get some advise of how to help.
My brother found a number on the net for family advise,which he called.
All i can say is the thought of drinking at makes me sicker than i have been ,i just hope i never forget this feeling .
Thank you everyone for you again

Hardest thing is to walk in the door the first time.. after the first time you will feel right at home.
All the best.

Hi Bob
Iam very lucky that i have such a supportive family.My boyfriend has been aware of what ive been doing to myself for a while and has tried his hardest to help and understand why i do it.
It came as a massive shock to mum and brother.Its was only that he came home to find an empty bottle of vodka that i had drunk neat from the bottle and me facedown on the landing .
Im so lucky they are helping me and not disowning me .

Family support is good too... as long as they aren't "enablers"
All the best.

Glad you got your family around you peaches. I go to AA meetings in London. Went to one in Hull in my first 2 weeks and it was good, v. supportive and friendly. I couldn't work out why they were being so friendly and offering me so much advice as I thought I was no longer a newcomer 
but I now realise it was early days and the extra support was really great.
Definitely worth a try to see if it works for you, there is also advice on here about other programs (and coming on here is fantastic too).
Let us know how it goes.

Its day 14 now without vodka , ive forgotten how bad i felt at the very beginning which scares the hell out of me.For me it really is a case of saying for this 24hrs i wont have a drink , just one day at a time.
AA is really helping my mind set , i dont feel im so alone anymore .Still very ashamed,embarassed and paranoid , hoping this easies off the longer i refrain from drinking.
Hope everyone here is doing well .

It will get better. I'm told it gets easier too. I'll take that on trust. Stay strong, stay sober. You deserve it.

Never did i think i would make it to 34 days and still going stong.
Every single day my confidence is growing, and i feel ready to get back into the real world.
Applied for 3 jobs on line today (not even scared of going for an interview ,if im lucky enough to ).
The difference in my skin is amasing ,sparkly white eye instead of blood shot yellow tinged.
Getting chubby from craving sweet things lol.
SR/AA has really helped , made me see im not the only person in the world fighting this addiction.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend .
