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

The opposite of addiction is connection.
Rehab, for me, started me on a path of connecting to other alcoholics and I continued that path afterward with AA. No matter what road one takes, it’s my experience that it’s key to find finding healthy connections and communities.
I am. I'm 3 days in. I have some meds that I know can help with the withdrawal, but they don't help with all the symptoms. It can be extremely dangerous doing it on your own. You're at risk for all sorts of serious life-threatening issues, so at least talk to your doctor about it.
In patient is no different because a person will just go back to it whenever they leave

Oh man. I did it at home. Almost died a couple times. Had EMS out more than once over the first two days

It’s possible but it’s hard
I did. But my DOC was alcohol. I don’t recommend detoxing from alcohol without some medical supervision. I am a nurse so I kinda monitored myself and checked my own vital signs.
My drinking directly caused me to have a miscarriage of my first child. That was rock bottom for me and all it took. Quitting and staying sober are two different things. Sure you can quit today on your own, but you’ll most likely need additional support to stay clean/sober.
Where are they posted? Or could you send them to me somehow?
Yup i did
God is the only way and the desire to accept the freedom he offers in surrendering and letting him heal you and take the lead
