I hope you're able to get professional help with detox and treatment. Self help groups can be a good source of support too, once you've detoxed. There's AA, which has the advantage of being just about everywhere. But if they're not your cup of tea, then there's also SMART recovery, an Secular Organization for Sobriety (SOS).
Remember to just take it one day, or one minute at a time.

Wow that sounds scary. I’m glad you’ve managed to come through all of that ok.
Yes I think you’re right. Just one day at a time.
I’m not sure about self-help groups yet, as you say I need to take the initial steps to detox safely first. I suspect I’ll get info about those as part of treatment I get. Not sure how I’d feel about those, what with my anxiety and all but certainly something I’ll consider.
I’ll keep you guys updated as I hear more.
