Buckeye,
I've been in the same position as you. Skip the "community health center" (sounds like you already have). They're usually the worst. Talk to your family doc about setting up a Xanax withdrawal schedule. If you stay off the alcohol, it probably won't be bad. Give yourself several weeks to recover physically from the effects of the alcohol, then start the Xanax taper. AA can be OK, but there are some die-hard fanatics there who will convince you that you are OK and they needd to be locked up. ;-) You may have to shop around for a decent group of folks.
