HI Sober - How are you doing today? What did you decide to do? Regardless of which method you are choosing, please stay close to SR and let us know how you're doing. I'm rooting for you.
PS - I know you said you are paranoid about meds and fear going to a detox facility. Since you are in contact with your doctor, how about asking him for something to take the edge off at home while you are detoxing?
