Welcome slim...Talk to your Doctor and be totally HONEST about your drinking...He may want you to do an inpatient detox where they can keep an eye on you....He may give you something and have you do it at home...He can't give you the right answer if you lie about your drinking. I'd recommend following up with a program for support when you get done cleaning up...You say you are spritually strong...AA is a program that worked for me and it will strengthen that sprituality...You sound like a good fit. You can start with going to meetings...Meeting recovering alcoholics...Getting a sponsor and going through the 12 steps. There are a lot of people on this site and on this planet that have recovered with AA...You should at least try it...The Big Book is the text of the program...If you want to take a look at it...Here you go...Best of luck to you...This is a great site for continued support as well...
