Alcohol withdrawl: Alcohol w/drawl symptoms can be mild: trouble sleeping, trembling, anxiety, nausea, anorexia, headache, sweating & palpitations wh/can start 6 hrs & go 2-3 days after stopping. More severe symptoms include seizures or hallucinations lasting 1-2 days after stopping. Dts the most serious form of w/drawl includes above plus shaking, high bp, fevers up to 5 days. This needs hospitalization. Call aa.

Alcoholism: Yes, it sure sounds like that. It may be wise to go through the four or five day withdrawal in a hospital setting so that if you seize they can help or if they feel it is necessary provide you preventative medicine so you do not seize. I appreciate how hard this decision may be to stop drinking. Please be open to suggestion and willing to ask for help to get through it.
