Recovery from alcohol abuse doesn’t take a weekend. It is a lifelong battle. Once you’re an alcoholic, you’re always an alcoholic, till you take your last breath. It’s just like surviving cancer. You are only in “remission.” You need to stay on top of the game for the rest of your life to make sure you don’t slip up again. For someone in an alcohol detox center, they could be there for weeks at least.
