Welcome to SR,Joy2.
Glad you found this site.I have been here for only a month and this place has helped me a lot with sobriety.
I'm sorry to hear that you have been through so much with your health.
It's also good news to hear that you have stopped and plan to do what you can to never drink alcohol again.
When those cravings come along this is a really good place to ride it out.
Was there anything that your doctor could give you to help with detox?Do you think you'll be okay going through it?I hope you have somebody there to keep an eye on you while you're going through it.
