Is there a particular reason why you did not consider detox? In detox they would give you more medication than the five Valium pills that you have. And I'm not one to say that AA is for everybody. It works for some and it doesn't for others. When you receive phone numbers from AA people they actually do want to hear from you even though it feels like the phone weighs 1000 pounds. And I can tell you from experience the feeling like crap thing goes on for a lot longer than 60 days. I don't think I felt right side it until at least 30 days but really 90 in total.
