Merry meet, Admiral!
I'm glad you've made the decision to kick the poison out of your life.
If you are having concerns about detoxing alone and your physician didn't give you anything to help, please go to the ER to seek help if you need.
AA is nice for hanging out with the 3-D people. Like so many people say, take what you need, leave the rest.
Wishing you all the best. Check back with us. There's lots of people here to support you!
