What I don't understand is they think I'm dependent, yet I haven't touched a drop since Sunday and feel fine. Why couldn't I just continue to not drink.

When I was in college before I went to the hospital, yes I was surely dependent. I was drunk for a month straight. And they gave me 2 doses of anti withdrawal meds and i didnt drink for 6 weeks after that.

I just really dont know what a rehab place could do for me that I couldnt do myself
