Hi racjen,
I was reading your story and am so happy for your speedy recovery! May it continue, you have truely suffered a lot!
Please note that you have not experienced any withdrawal symptoms because you are still (I believe?) on a high dose of diazepam. Diazepam is one of the benzos used to alleviate alcohol withdrawal. I don't believe that you weren't physically addicted, with a bottle per day, but the medication you are on now is helping you not feel the effects of not drinking.
Did your support professionals discussed a taper off the diazepam? It can be very addictive in itself and I hope there is a good plan up for you!
I hope you continue to stay well, you seem such a courageous woman!!!
Milamam
