Welcome kv - The sooner we stop the vicious cycle, the better...... So good for you for addressing your problem now. You don't have to have serious consequences before you put the drink down.

I remember how scared I was when I first came here (and thinking there was no way I'd ever enjoy life again, and maybe I wouldn't be successful quitting, etc. etc.). You're not alone - we all felt the same way at first. Give it time, be patient with yourself, drink lots of water, eat some good food, B vitamins...... and yes, it's best to talk to a doctor.

After the initial days, things really do start to feel and look differently. I found a new strength I didn't even know I had. Hang out here if you have to, to get through the first days - that's what I did and it worked beautifully!
