Well, folks, I DID IT!
Entered the detox unit on Wednesday, and was discharged yesterday. It was MUCH less uncomfortable than I'd feared. You were all right. The meds (Librium for detox and trazadone for sleeping) made a world of difference, and aside from some shakes and a few dry-heaves here and there, it was not bad AT ALL.
I'm now on day 4 of my sobriety, and can't be more delighted about it! I went to an AA meeting last night, and will be attending another this evening. I also reached out to a friend who has 10 years of sobriety and asked her to be my sponsor. Hopefully, we'll be able to make it work!
Thanks to ALL of your for your helpful input in this thread. Now, I'm off to join the Class of February 2014 thread!
