Talking Finally did it!

After trying to detox at home, making it 4 days , then a 5 day binger, i checked myself in to detox. Just got out and it's been 66 hours since my last drink. I am catching a 8pm meeting (CST) and I start an intensive outpatient program tommorow!

Welcome, and thanks for joining us! This site has been a tremendous help for me as I've stayed off the booze the last 7 months. Big fan of meetings as well. Good work on the 66 hours. Keep it up!

Welcome. Just curious, is your IOP based upon a 12 step program that leads into AA at the end?
