I quit without rehab. I built a strong support group around me to hold me accountable. Find what works for you and stick to it. Reach out if you need to.

I went to outpatient treatment forever ago and didn't find much help. Tried a different place recently and it was awful. You don't necessarily need to go to treatment. Besides detoxing and coping skills, you need to stay busy and find a hobby so you don't get bored and get regular health check ups to make sure you are healthy too.

Yes. I submerged into the AA program. The Fellowship accepted me, I have been to meetings every day of my last 7years 9months of sobriety. I became involved with service, H&I, sharing openly, and make calls to other AAs when I need it as well as answer those calls when they ring.

First the nudge from the judge., then AA
I learned how to rely on my group at first then my highest power… now I use both daily and it’s been working for over 7 years…
It takes what it takes,, and willingness

No rehab, no counseling, just Jesus and determination!! I am 102 days clean! I was literally taking 6 plus hydros daily! Cold turkey dealt with the 2 weeks of hellish detox. I am now clean and feel amazing!

I didn't go to a rehab I detoxed on my own and found my local AA
I quit drinking many many times but needed 30 days inpatient to deal with a lot of tragedy and trauma. Best decision I ever made
I never went to rehab but honestly wish I had. My drinking was pretty advanced, I was really truly at the end, blacked out 24/7. Somehow I quit with just AA but the post acute withdrawal hit me hard some of it I still deal with
I did. I went to celebrate recovery and was court ordered to classes. But no rehab. God was my rehab.
You’ve been sober for a minute….. lol

Yeop... Sure have
I agree. I don’t understand how outpatient is useful for anyone. It’s so basic and nonspecific.

Not me. I was so physically addicted that I had to be medically detoxed. It was awful. I couldn’t go an hour without a drink. I would sweat, shake and vomit. Rehab saved my life. 
It shows the rest of us that it can and does happen… one day at a time.

yes very true
I cold turkey 
and I have not looked back, except for me to see how far I have come. No hospital, no na, no anything. Everybody is different, and if you need help do what works best for you The only person that has to make sense to is you. So many people are proud of you and you have no idea including me a complete stranger
