Hi everyone I am new to this website I have been drinking heavily over the last couple years someone close to me died and it totally devastated me I have not left the house much in the last couple years so I am very isolated in my home I have anxiety and a number of other mentalhealth issues which I won't go into for now I am due to have a home detox on Monday they wanted me to go into rehab but as I don't go out the house much this was not my best option as I get very anxious being around people so with a lot of preparation of my doctors and  my mental health team they agreed to detox me at home I am scared about this as I know on that day I would of drank alcohol and I am worried they will not be able to do the detox as anyone else drank alcohol the same day of their detox I would be grateful for any advice thanks

    If you have no posibility if getting rid of all the alcohol at home and especially if you live with someone who drinks i recommend going to rehab. 

    It's not only that there are more chances youmll fail. But also if you do, you automatically lose a bit of hope and belief. Trying to quit, while surrounded by alcohol is only making yourself fail.
