BB,
Maybe I'm using the wrong words. I think the importance of the visit is to schedule follow up outpatient treatment to help guarantee continued sobriety, and she provided a list of information I need, which included AA meetings, should I choose to use, the information is there. Thankfully no social issue at home, I only drank at night! When I told my doctor how much I've been drinking, she made promise "hospital today." I couldn't believe it, I'm not drunk! She then said I didn't understand withdrawal, and that I can definitely drive myself to the hospital! So I did. . The rest is history.
