That's brutal. My boss was just telling me about a friend of his that died a couple days ago... dude was a raging alcoholic, but wanted to clean up in time to get to his daughter's graduation, so he went cold turkey from the bottle... and then died of a seizure from the severe DTs. So harsh.

I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.
