I'm at almost two months without a drink. I was downing a half gallon of whiskey a day had to go to the ER when I stopped because the withdrawel were so bad. I was shaking sweating hallucinating and could barely walk. They wouldn't let me leave the hospital for five days. They woke me up every three hours to give me benzos and I had a twelve day librium (another benzo) taper when I got out of the hospital followed by a few weeks of tegretol, an anti convulsant, to prevent seziures.
Quitting drinking is no joke.
