I didn't have the luxury of a detox or treatment when it was time for me to get sober.
And I didn't know about some of the local facilities here that would have
at least supervised medically a detox for me at no charge.
So I did wind up with some long lasting effects,
but nothing I can't cope with and today even laugh about.
But even the farthest gone alcoholic has to make a decision
or nothing ever changes for them ... all the way to the bitter end.
And it is a bitter thing indeed.
Alcoholics Anonymous in your area has information on centers locally.
Salvation Army also has information and sometimes local programs they offer.
Your local hospital may also run some kind of clinic on local donations
you can't know if you don't know where to start.
And there's always your local health department,
or your private doctor
if you've the luxury of having one of those.
I something in all this rambling
helps you get some ideas.
