Welcome! I am also an alcoholic, but did detox at a treatment center. I would say to hang around and post as often as you feel up to it. You should definitely have a few people close by that you can call upon if possible if things get too scary. You are definitely not alone in your experience. There are a ton of us that have been down the alcohol and addiction road. The 12 step programs worked for me but everyone is different. They are, however, a good way to establish a support group of people that can relate to what you are going through and are close by in case of a weak or lonely or scary moment.
Good luck to you, you can do it...it does get better...I promise. :)
