DETOX: Please consider going to see an alcohol treatment specialist or your family doctor. If you feel you need this urgently there are many alcohol detox options there in The Southport area. Your doctor's office will know where or the local hospital will know. I am very happy to hear that you are ready to stop drinking. May this be the start of very powerful journey of healing for you.
