Time,
See your doc. Tell him or her exactly how much you really drink and make arrangements. I also did an in hospital medical detox. I preferred to be drugged out by the medical staff and avoid any detox pain and misery and it worked. As soon as I was detoxed I joined SR (here) and AA and went to meetings only twice a week as I only went with my little great home group I lucked out in finding. The first couple of weeks were a real roller coaster ride, and I am glad I had both my docs and the friends I made here and at AA to talk to. I stopped using AA at about three months and only used here after that except for a visit back to let them know I was still doing fine. I believe in using a little of this recovery program, a little of that one, and some of yet another, and don't much care for the zealots of any stripe that think there is only one way to do it, and only one way to do that one way!
I used them all and they all work when we do.
