Finally Got Meds for Detox
Finally Got Meds for Detox
I finally saw my psychiatrist who gave me valium. I've had a terrible time with gastro the past 5 days. At least I'm losing weight. This is the last time he'll give me valium to detox but I feel like I've hit rock bottom and see drinking now as an unpleasant signing of my own death warrant.
I'm glad you're working on a recovery plan - there's a fair few good ideas in here too:

Yes, isolation and boredom are not your friends if you're trying to quit drinking. Good idea on the meetings/social clubs. For me, drinking was more of a habit than anything else. Once I replaced the cocktail hour with something else, I stopped thinking about alcohol. (At least at home!)
We should believe that we'll only detox once, and therefore need the valium once; we're going in knowing that we CAN DO IT and will not relapse again and go through that vicous cycle.
Glad to hearyou've got a recovery plan going. Don't plan on going to AA; GO!
The best choice for treatment has proven to be attendance in a group dynamic, and simply said, AA is just that, a bunch of people with something in common getting together to share and help each other.
