Alcohol withdrawals are nothing to be messed with. Many withdrawals/detox from other drugs are difficult and make you very sick, but most aren't life threatening, alcohol withdrawal can be. They can cause serious health problems including death. I recommend going to a treatment facility for medically managed detox which will give you supervised care to get you through the initial stages. Usually detox lasts a few days to around a week. The first week is tough but after you get through that you can focus on recovery.

I can't stress enough don't try to detox alone, it's not worth the risk. Good Luck, sobriety is worth it.
