How are you feeling now, James?
I spent an awful lot of time trying to figure out how to safely detox on my own. It always became a moot point as I'd start drinking well again before any withdrawals set in.
When I finally did it, on my own, it was when I'd reached psychological exhaustion. I had no desire to feel better, worse, anything at all. So I just stayed in bed and felt like poop for a week.
Then I joined an outpatient programme. I did not like the director, did not care for her Tough Love (= meanness) approach to sobriety. I went every day and sometimes had a hard time sitting through the 12-step advice going around the table. I held my tongue until the last day of treatment for me, when I walked out of the programme. Two days short of "graduation", no big deal.

Anyway, that's what happened with me. Keep us posted.
