Thanks for sharing more of your story Noether
There no doubt that the way to continued sobreity can be slippery - but I found support, like the support here at SR, really helped me keep my resolve.
I spent years putting other things in front of my recovery - including 'not wanting to be rude' and 'how would if look if I don't drink'....the fact is I simply wasn;t valuing myself at the same level I valued other people...and that had to change.
I also finally got it through my head it's not the last glass that does the damage - it's the first.
As far as detox goes...if it's determined you need inpatient detox, go...I'm not being flippant when I say you can always get another job, but your health can be a fragile thing and taken far too much for granted...
believe me I know.
