Hi All

Im a 30y/o male in Melbourne Australia. Im single, live with my mum (dad died 4 years ago) and i work f/t as a chef's assistant. Work is hard.

I want to ultimately get back into multimedia dn web design as thats where my heart is, and i believe i can do this however i drink too much. I dont drink during the day, but when night comes and ive finished work i drink on average 1 bottle of red, and 3 long-necks of beer (ie. roughly 16 standard drinks every night - for the past 2 years)...

Im scared of withdrawals..the thought of dt's......and nocturnal panic attacks (ie. insomnia)

what can i do guys ? with my history of drinking and my abuse of alcohol, am i likely to go through dt's ? please help me, i want to lose weight, gain confidence in myself, and overcome this habitual and repetitive life but im scared of withdrawal as i am extremely unfit and feel very low due to this fact and dont know how to move forward carefully...also i dont have much money./.......what would you do if you were in my shoes and you had hardly any money, but it was critical that you maintained your job (ie. im a massive support for my brothers business - he's my boss and he;s, great, but he knows i drink way too much after work)
