I have been drinking about 10-12 and sometimes 12-15 beers consistently for over 15 years every night after work. I do not drink in the morning or afternoon, actually have no desire to. However when I get home around 4-5pm my daily stop is for an 18 pack. I also smoke a pack a day. I am on no medications and consider myself healthy and fit. I have truly wanted to just quick drinking beer for a while now. I do not drink hard liquor or wine, just bud-light. Here is my dilema: I understand that after about 3-4 days of quiting I will have withdraw seizures. This scares the daylights out of me. I have an 18 year old daughter and a 5 yr old daughter and drive on the freeways alot at work. I am scared about driving and having a seizure while driving.

Will I indeed get withdraws? Any suggestions?

Thanks so much. I at least made it to this step.
