You might not get one here, either, since none of us is your doctor. You should consult your doctor to determine what your health care needs are.

Glad you decided to detox. Hope all goes well for you.

A doctor will be able to run some blood tests and check the damage caused and recommend whether help with the withdrawal symptoms would be needed!

Yes, you will most likely need help. See a doctor or a rehab/detox center.

See a doctor. Half gallon is 2 litres right? (Roughly) . If a litre of vodka a day isn't enough then i presume you're a candidate for withdrawals which are very uncomfortable and possibly dangerous, as I'm sure you're aware. See if you can get meds from your doctor ASAP and make that half gallon last until you see the doc!

Yes you do. There is a very good chance you could get seizures etc. Like others said, see your doctor and s/he can assess whether you can detox at home with some prescription drugs or if you need to be in a detox unit under medical supervision.
