W&H,
You mention that you are a student. Is there a counselor at school that you can talk to? Perhaps you don't need to get into the legal issues, but just to talk to someone about getting through this week and staying safe? How about narcotics anonymous? Just something where you can feel a little more connected to the real world, and get some support.You've made it this far- you can keep going. It's going to get better. Slowly, sometimes with a setbacks, but yes, it's getting better already.
Drink lots of fluids, and take care to treat yourself gently. If you need to escape the real world, try going to a movie, or go to the theaters all day long. It's better than alcohol.
Here's what my T said when I told him that I was abusing alcohol.
Alcohol is a wonderful anti-depressant, but it has some bad side effects, including-- depression.
If Larry Hoover were around, he might recommend Taurine supplements. Do a search for taurine and Larry Hoover, and I bet you'll find a lot of helpful suggestions.
The withdrawal board might also be a good place to get some support from people who have experience with withdrawal.
