Been drinking heavy for a year! Scared to stop due to withdrawal symptoms!

Hi Josh. I know it sounds crazy. You can safely detox under the care of a health care professional. Tap the sober help icon on the menu. Then, choose detox to view the listings. You can do this.
I am wanting to do it at home. When I say heavy drinking it’s like 8-10 beers a day. So I’m not sure where that ranks as far as heavy drinking.
How much do you drink?
Yes I can and currently do not have any symptoms
How long did you drink that much? What were your withdrawal symptoms?
When did they go away? After you started drinking again?
37 and before the pandemic just mainly on weekends
How old are you?
I was able to put down a bottle of early times after drinking daily seven years almost a fifth a night but I did get shakes and very irritable, just watch for severe reactions like in your chest and body, don't be afraid to ask for help from a Dr if you need to, it's what they got into medicine for is to help people.. I quit drinking on my own but I did pick up opiates years later and was on then for four years and had to reach out for help from detox and rehab for them, but thanks to a good support system and the desire to be clean I am a year and half sober from everything!! If I can do it anyone can, don't give up and stay positive!
