TERRIFIED of Alcohol Detox
good luck
in a few days after entering most all in the treatment center I was in
were feeling pretty good and joking around with each other and staff
remember
they are the specialist in this field
they will do their very best so as to keep you comfortable
some will stay sober for a considerable amount of time after release
make it your goal to be one of these few (sobriety should be taken very seriously)
good luck

My last 4 years of drinking I drank every single day without fail. I didn't suffer in detox at all. Was a lot different than I actually expected it to be. It was AFTER the detox that the fun stuff for me really began . But I dove right into AA (actually was dragged by someone, first night out of the hospital), then after a month without a drink got myself into a 28 day rehab. I really felt I wasn't going to be able to hang on if I didn't do that. Went straight to outpatient treatment after that, continued my involvement in AA, and started living a completely different life. Didn't feel anywhere near normal (or even a part of anything, including AA), until around 6 months sober. Took me well over a year before my anxiety and panic completely went away. But while the progress was slow, it was steady.
You're about to embark on a wonderful journey. Embrace it, and things just happen as they will. You'll be in safe hands.

Well, folks, I DID IT!
Entered the detox unit on Wednesday, and was discharged yesterday. It was MUCH less uncomfortable than I'd feared. You were all right. The meds (Librium for detox and trazadone for sleeping) made a world of difference, and aside from some shakes and a few dry-heaves here and there, it was not bad AT ALL.
I'm now on day 4 of my sobriety, and can't be more delighted about it! I went to an AA meeting last night, and will be attending another this evening. I also reached out to a friend who has 10 years of sobriety and asked her to be my sponsor. Hopefully, we'll be able to make it work!
