So I'm back from the doctor. He was very nice and very supportive. He's prescribed me Disulfirm. I've taken it before but only for a week. lol.. Also he has contacted a support worker who I've seen before (shes a miracle worker when you tell her the truth) so all is well for now. 
Quiet Friday night in just for me.

That sort of Binge drinking is more indicative of alcoholism than drinking more frequently but with less fury and pace (a Liter of vodka in a few hours)
You sound like a younger female me.
Police cells, covered in blood...... That sort of thing happened regularly to me in my 20's
I drank on for 20 more years, believe me, it gets worse.
Keep up with the AA stuff

It's good to recognize this. It seems to be the same when you hit 50 too. Where are they now? Get sober, get to know yourself again and the friends you make while sober will be real friends.
Say hello in the morning.
