I agree with podee,you need your docs involvement here.this is a big huge step you are undertaking,congrats on that,really.what you are expeiencing would most likely be considered "normal" under the circumstances.as with any drug that your body is used to having,it will notice when it is not there anymore.this is the dependancy part of things.your brain wants it and your body does too.this just needs to be done under the supervision of your primary doc,just for these types of reasons.he can monitor you and make sure that you are doing okay.in some people,depending just how long and how often their brains were being put to sleep by alcohol,you can in some instances actually suffer some level of seizure activity.

just checking things out with your doc and discussing just what you posted here would help YOU alot and also just help to ease your mind that things are normal for your particular situation.you just need to be safe.

i really am proud of you and you should be too.i know this is not an easy task you are undertaking.and going to an AA meeting once in a while wouldn't hurt.these people will be able to help you and most of all,support you through all of this.they would also know what its like to go thru detox too.just talking out your fears with another person face to face,really helps tons.this also really helps you to just feel accountable to someone as well.do you know what i mean?getting a sponser is doing just that.someone who has certain expectations from you and can help give you the needed support if you should ever think you really need a drink again.it does really help alot,trust me.just make an appt with your doc and check out the AA meetings in your area.this WILL help you to stay sober and on track.really.good luck with this,marcia
