>>214208377Benzos help to get through withdrawal (I prefer them over Distra), but they are addictive as fuck and benzo withdrawal can easily kill you just like alcohol withdrawal. So, from my point of view, they are great for detox/rehab, but should be administered in a controlled setting, i.e. a hospital or even better a clinic specialized on detox patients. Trust a random internet stranger with some experience: just getting a prescription for Valium/Diazepam from your local doctor and trying to do that shit yourself at home is a pretty bad idea. Benzos are fun, so they have insane abuse potential, and as an addict you will most probably not manage to ween yourself off from booze, followed by weening yourself off from benzos.
Go see a doctor, but tell him that you need a proper detox in a clinic. Well dunno if you can afford it, over here it's "free" (you only pay 10€/day for food n stuff, rest is covered by health insurance).
>>8085054AA is not for everybody. I dislike their "no feedback" rule. Sure, some people don't want to be judged and it might encourage them to tell about their problems. But - personally - I had way better experiences in rehab clinics, talking to other drinkers and druggies like normal persons. without a silly 12 step program in a semi-religious environment.
Guess the thread is dead after being moved to /bant/, but I was already writing that post, so here it is.
