Are Urination Urges, Dark Urine, Watery Stools Part Of Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms?

I am self detoxing from alcohol and ive made it just about 2 days and feel a lot better but today i have frequent urges to urinate and the urine is dark. I also have watery stools. But they are getting a little better. Is this normal and how many days of no drinking does it take to not shake and feel somewhat functioning?

Did u also use occasional opiods ie brown sugar etc class of drugs? Withdrawal can cause diarrhea like picture

Dark urine may be just concentrated but blackish tinge may be due to some kind of bleed.
