How much drinking alcohol is enough to give DTs if you just stop. I am afraid of the repurcussions.?

I cannot go into rehab right now, but I am beginning to get scared about the way alcohol is stealing my life. Or the way I am giving my life away to alcohol. If I stop cold turkey, can I predict DTs?

    How much do you drink? Do you drink every day? When you wake up in the morning do you shake until you take a drink? If you can take a few days off or do not shake when you haven't had a drink you will probably not get DT.

    Dts From Drinking

    I was once a heavy almost daily drinker for a few years and never had a problem with DTs. I stopped a few times cold turkey or close to it and I was fine. Then I went on for a few more years just binge drinking. One night, I had 2 bottles of champagne and about 3 pints of beer. I woke up and shook for 3 days. I have no idea why that night affected me that way and it wasn't like I hadn't drank that much before. It just happened. So, in my case, there wasn't really any way to predict DTs. It just seemed to happen randomly that time.

    That was the last night I drank and I've been sober over 2 1/2 years now.

    I read that the DTs can kill you, so if you are a chronic addict, you will need to be admitted.
