Abgator said, "I found it enjoyable to float through the introduction to true recovery and therapy while on valium LOL. It took away the fear and anxiety of taking it serious, to where I jumped right into it when I got out. Where before, I had hesitated seeking out help. I attribute that entirely to the amazing staff at the Facility I was in."
The detox I went into right before my rehab stint didn't use Valium or other tranquilizers on me. Just melatonin and Trazadone to help me sleep. Useless meds, IMHO.
But I'd been in the ICU for about a week with seizures and heart problems, where I was heavily sedated to stop the seizing, so maybe I had detoxed from alcohol while there?
Joshua Tree, how are you doing?

Well I didn’t make it Nov 1st like i planned but I did finally check in this last Monday and just got home a few minutes ago. It wasn’t scary, it wasn’t unpleasant, it wasn’t uncomfortable, it was the best decision I could have possibly made. Walking to my first AA meeting now. Talk to you all soon!

The meeting went great. I'm so relieved to finally be making some headway. I met several similar versions of me in detox as well as at the meeting. I also got a personal care physician lined up. Check this out .... The appointment is on next Friday. Friday the 13th and the doctors name is Michael Meyers .... 
. Blood work at detox came back normal. Slightly elevated liver enzymes and no other issues. Not sure how that happened but I will take it
