There are SO many variables between individuals. A lot of it depends at
first on how much you were drinking to begin with. It can actually be
deadly just to stop if you are addicted and have been consuming great
quantities. For the majority including myself there is extreme nervousness
the first few days. I had night sweats and slept little the first few
days. It might be beneficial to see a doctor and be honest. If you are
having problems he or she could give you something temporarily to help. In
the long run there are several different support groups if you desire. AA,
Smart, LSR, MM and others. A lot of people down MM because they are
primarily about moderation, which I am not about. They also have an
abstinence branch which is about what it says-abstinence. Many quit on
there own without help, but if you want it its out there.
