PS, I certainly care and sending hugs.
Is there anyone you can call to get a ride to ER... or for them to take you to the doctor. It is best to get check out and the doctor will know the best method to get you through detox. I think some people don't like to talk to their doctor, but that is what doctors are there for... to help in medical situations. Really PS, go and see the doctor.
Mine helped when I decided to see him.
Please check in with us... we really care.

I honestly have only been drinking since saturday can I just stop by myself without fear of not waking up or something?
I went to Creekside Withdrawl Management center, its right behind surrey memorial and you have to refer yourself (no doctors referal needed) oh yeah, and its free.
all you have to do is call them and they will ask you a bunch of questions, then you are put on the waitlist, could be a couple days, or a couple weeks to get in. they called me back four days later and i was in the next day.
I *think* there might be one IN vancouver if you dont want to have to come all the way out here. but im not sure.
let me know if you decide to call! when i went it was really great and helped alot....i started posting here the day after i got out
ps. you can also check yourself out whenever you want, so its not like you aer a prisioner. what could it hurt, right?
vanilla!

These are some pretty comprehensive Canadian links (not just inpatient rehab)
Drug & alcohol rehab treatment centers: Canadian Drug Rehab Centres
but like Anna said, if nothing else, go to the ER, PS.

Hey Primalscream l care!!!!!
Sounds like you're pretty worried about your health, if you can get there, ER would probably be the best place for you right about now. (at the very least your own GP ASAP)
I don't know about over there but here the hospital Dr's is can refer a patient onto detox, but also help with medication and hydration when you get to the hospital. Look after yourself

Hey Primal,
I read your post about detox options first. I do care. And I hope you can find a place to detox safely. There is no shame or embarassment worth it not to get the help you need.

I just wanted to let you all know I survived...so far anyway. I finally stopped drinking about 3am friday morning and haven't had any since. Poured out the rest of it so I will be good. I do feel like **** and hate all the sweating, but I will survive. Thank you again for all the kind and helpful words. I can't believe I got myself into that position again, but I did. I just have to resolve not to drink anymore, and somehow stick to it.
A work in progress

Thanks for the update, glad you're OK.
You still might want to think about rehab or AA--most of us manage to stop for awhile, it's the staying stopped that is tough for most people.

As far as giving up a lot of income to do what you really want to do....
I've only been sober for 11 days and I figure I have saved at least $250.
So far.
Beer is expensive here in B.C.
Take care Primal, glad you are feeling better.

Thanks for the update PS - glad you're feeling a little better.
I think Lexi has a point tho - you need to think now about what you're gonna do, so that you never find yourself in those straits again, man.
