Hi Ravensoul and welcome,

You will find lots of information and support here.

I think it's great that you want to stop drinking and move forward with your life. I'm not sure that cutting back will help with withdrawl symptoms. In my opinion, it will just prolong the symptoms. But, you are right to be concerned about detoxing and you should talk to your dr before you begin.

By the way, I also had terrible panic/anxiety attacks when I was drinking. But, I also have issues with panic attacks in recovery, though less often.
