First and foremost, as others said, detox at the ER is ultimately the first step. They can probably hook you up with an addiction counselor or therapist. But since there's no booze in the hospital that's a good place to stay.
I did an out patient rehab ('graduated' in March) but still now go to the After Care and have once a month one on one. Then Thursday Nights is AA.
Then I eat, sleep and breath sobriety for the rest of the week. I drank over 30 years and did the Jack Daniels thang, too. Then I did the beer thang, the wine thang, Vodka thang -back to beer thang, back to wine thang. LOL Yeah, its a vicious cycle of drinking, hiding, lying, being shameful, feeling like crap, wanting to stop. The past 5 months have been very good to me and I am so happy I could explode. I hope the same for you in due time.
Wishing you peace and strength.
