I have also been an alcoholic since I was 18 years old and I have experienced everything. As a matter of fact, these last three weeks were the first "sober" time I've had in, say, three years (and I'm talking of heavy alcoholism, two bottles of whisky three times a week) But I'm confident I will be fine.
Work, studies, even some friends: all lost thanks to drinking. I also have General Anxiety Disorder, which not helps at all.
Before that I had two partial recoveries. First one came by reading the webpage of Rational Recovery, and it lasted like year and a half.
Second one was thanks to voluntary admission in a recovery center for one week. It lasted some months...my drug addicted boyfriend (I lived with him) didn't help and I fell again.
I tried AA two times. It doesn't work with me, not only for being an atheist, but also because you are constantly be reminded that your life, for good or for not good, is determined by alcohol. I don't share that perspective. Also, it's full of jerks.
My recommendation is that, the moment you recover (read my next post), change immediately your habits. The two times I went sober (and now) I started to do a lot of exercise, change to a healthy feeding, read difficult but interesting books or make plans for study (if you are not already at college or something)...I know it sounds crazy to go in one day to the other extreme, but it is what it works for me.
If I can be of any help, send me a PM so we can talk by facebook.
PS: If you look for a medical treatment only accept Benzodiazepines for withdrawall stage.
