I am 41, and just got Detoxed November 31 last year. I was living the same hell as you, maybe worse. I know exactly what you are talking about with the drinking in the Am, and all of it actually. I couldn't take it anymore. I was drinking about 2/3 of a Half gallon bottle of Capt. morgans everyday, sometimes more. It was terrible. I set my mind to getting help, and saw my Dr first. She directed me to the hospital to get detoxed. I couldn't go that same day, cause I also have 3 kids, a husband and a business. So I made arrangements to go for the weekend 2 weeks later. I was incredibly scared, and almost couldn't follow through, but I knew I had to, my drinking had gone way to far. I only had to stay at the hospital 7 hours since I wasn't having seizures or hallucinating, during withdrawal. my worst symptom was always shaking really bad after I hadn't drank for a few hours. It's been 46 days for me now, and I feel so much better. I wish I could talk to you personally by email, but I don't know how, since I can't post an email addy.
I am certainly here for ya ! it's really hard, but you Can do it ! :-D
