If you were in healthcare then you know that you just have to get past the physical detox then it's all psychological after that.

We aren't much help with the detox part. Get to a doc and get some meds for the week of detox. You know what to do.

For the psychological bit - we're pretty good at fighting the thoughts...like telling yourself that you drink because of anxiety? Drinking [withdrawal] is causing the anxiety, you know that. We've all been there, and it gets better when you just jump out of that cycle.

Welcome to the site. Congrats on 14 years off drugs - but alcohol is a drug too, ya know?
