Alcohol withdrawal symptoms

I am current going through alcohol withdrawal alone (day 2). Cannot keep even the smallest amounts of food. After some time without much warning I violently regurgitate everything including stomach acid.
This happens several times a day and know it's probably damaging my esoughogaus sphinkter,
Now I quite frquently belch and somethimes get hiccupps from what seems to be nothing - just trying to expel something, Very frequently bending over or lying in bed, Antacids help somebut not enough.

Do you think I have already damaged the esoughogaus sphinkter? What can I do?

when i admitted my addictions in 1983 my family was stunned...and ashamed..parents felt unecessarily guilty.I was viewed and still is viewed today as THE FAMILY SECRET....one of many!Many of my so- called professional co-horts ridiculed me b-hind my back,my family said this is your problem take care of it and my brother was the most supportive understanding one.at that time i was living in a very small town.Very few sober women around.One of the addictions counselors i worked with sed if u wanna find good recovery get in ur car and go look for it!And i did.I had no problem going in2 bar by self,or going to buy drugs by self so in2 the 12 step rooms i went.Some meeting s iliked some i didn't and many folks i thought fulla manure.But there were those I found who walked what they talked.My first sponsor I found in NA.Impaired nurse fired for stealing drugs from where she worked.So poised,had some serenity a nd a fairly 2 gether life.i benefitted from her wisdom.I would turn it in2 an adventure to go to many diff type of meetings to see who i could meet.And very soon i was not going alone!Another ibizan-ism if i always do what i want to do,i'll end up loaded.I MUST make myself do what i need to do...and the chances r good i' stay sober/clean!

No, I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty; that's not my gig. Misunderstood /  intake?...  possibly, doesn't matter.  The quantity and type is not the issue; any amount is not good for any of us.  Geesh, I'm talking like a saint; I better shut my mouth because I have a long ways to go and worry I'll get sucked in by BEAST again.

You have been a great inspiration.  It's time and i know it.  Thanks for being hard on me.  Tough love is the only thing that normally works.

Maybe you misunderstood me on my intake.  A fifth of vodka is one bottle, right?  One third of that is about four drinks or less right?  That seems like it would be easy to taper down from.  I was just suprised that someone would have severe withdrawl from that amount.  And, yes as I have said some days I'll drink a half a bottle of vodka or a bottle and a half of wine.  
ibizan, you are starting to make me feel really guilty.  Maybe that is your point.  Well I said I would go to the meeting so maybe you can back down a little.  I'm sad as it is.
I'll keep you posted.
