Drinking isn't the best idea, I would try and find some kind of benzo to hold you over.. benzo WD is awful, I have been forced into it before for reasons other than my own fault... like losing pills, etc.
I was able to find help from friends/family and connections I had.. luckily! most of the time at least... only when I was in jail, and had no access to my meds, was it the most agonizing feeling I have ever went through, not only in WD from benzos, but also subutex! IT was no doubt the most miserable experience I have ever witnessed... Other than alcohol, which I hate, and would never drink again, but that's just my opinion... is weed! Weed if its the right bud, can help tremendously with anxiety caused from benzo WDs and make you stop thinking about it as much... especially if you have little or no THC tolerance.. it is totally helpful, with the right strain! Some buds, however, will make you even more paranoid/anxiety ridden.. So really, I would ask friends/family, for help.. that usually works for me. but I know not everyone has friends/family who take benzos or condone taking them.. so if that's not an option.. I would get some kava tea and extract to put in the tea, and drink that.. its pretty much harmless if used in moderation, and does help at calming your nerves, much like I found Ativan to be like.. a very "light" benzo type of feeling.. Weed and kava.. try it out! if you cant get benzos to get you through, because that WD, is going to get hella bad, if you have to wait until Dec. 7th... that is no good!
Hope you figure it out! Good luck!
