Good for you!!!! You don't want to mess with withdrawals on your own. Did they give you any meds to help with the withdrawals and resources you can connect with? I don't know where you live, but most places have either low-cost or free detox centers. Getting involved in one of those might lead to an in-patient center that is either free or at least reasonable. I have been to those and they are definitely no-frills and are filled with interesting characters, but if you focus on YOUR RECOVERY they work fine. Besides, it gives you a realistic perspective on just how bad things can get. IMHO, I think they are better than high end rehabs cause you really get to see just how bad things can get. Like Dee always says, make a plan, no excuses. John
