Lizrich1: As suggested it's very important to get medical help with detox and, after that, be extremely careful for quite awhile since relapses are common because the body chemistry has not stabilized and the brain is unstable as well, wanting to resume the alcohol. So there is a powerful urge to self medicate. The best approach is careful medical supervision, random urine tests, often a 30 day rehab followed by aftercare sessions and group meetings with others in recovery, such as AA. Despite what it sounds like, it's extremely important since the alternative is gradually sliding down a black hole of horror to a painful and unpleasant death. Slavery to a chemical. The climb to sobriety is a journey to eventual happiness and self respect. Gaining back your true self. Good luck and every good wish. Stick with this website. We can and will help you!
