I would recommend that you check out “Rational Recovery”, it's not for everybody but it does work (and it worked just fine for me). There are no sponsors, meetings, or “steps”, it places you in charge of your life and makes you assume the responsibility. Basicly, it quashes the “victim mentality” and dependence on other ex-drunks to prop yourself up.

I went from liter a day to stone cold sober in three days and that was seven years ago. You can do the same if you try.

PS Your "scary" thinking is a good indication that you will find RR a plan that you can work with, and which will work for you. Best of luck.

Thank you Gandalf!

I went from liter a day to stone cold sober in three days and that was seven years ago.

I agree. By the time I came back the last time (4 years, 5 months ago), I had thoroughly messed up my life to the point that I was drinking 1+ liters of Absolut or Grey Goose daily just to "get by" for the day. I was able to stop "cold turkey" (without any detoxing, etc.) by simply resuming the practice of dropping to my knees and asking my Lord to help me to stay sober each day. I know that it doesn't always work that way for everyone, and that some people require much more medical, etc. intervention.

Big hat tip to you on your seven years of success! I've heard a bit about RR in the past, I will take a closer look. Thanks.
