Yes,...DETOX programs are only a few days,......the time it takes to flush the alcohol out of your system safely. But,....you havent dealt with any of the problems in your life that cause you to "think" as an alcoholic. Almost always,...anyone who merely detoxes without rehab, ends up drinking as much or often MORE than ever. I would strongly suggest thinking about rehab. You need to deal with the demons. Not just the alcohol. As for the job,....well,...whats more important to you? Your life? Or a job that wont be there anymore because you were fired for being drunk on the job or calling in sick or being late or poor performance or calling in because you were pulled over and thrown in jail for DUI? And think of this as well,.....does a job matter if you arent alive anymore to work there? It is said (and I agree fully) that only those who are "willing to do whatever it takes" to get sober, find recovery. Its just very sad that, often, we put off recovery because "others" may find out we have a problem. If you are admitting you are an alcoholic, TRUST ME,.....people already know (coworkers, included).
