I went into a medical Detox November 12, 2012. I was originally going into a Rehab after the Holidays ... so I could drink until after New Years Eve. It was the doctor's at Kaiser (my health provider) who told me I needed to go to the Detox center first before my month in a women's rehab,
I had no withdrawal symptoms, at least none that I could tell. I checked in around 11:00pm on a Monday and left on Thursday morning ...going directly to my rehab. It truly was the best thing for me.
I've been active in the AA program for the last 4 years, and I come here to SR each day. Drinking was hard. Being in recovery brings me joy.
