Welcome to the family Edd!
It's generally recommended that you see your doctor for help in getting safely thru the initial physical withdrawals (which usually last a few days to a week). After you've detoxed and the alcohol is out of your body, do you have a plan for maintaining sobriety? A support group like AA or SMART or one of the other programs for sobriety? I'm staying sober using a mix of some AA meetings, weekly counseling, and this site.
Lots of people here are staying sober just using this site for support. There are many ways to stay sober, I hope you can find or make the one you need.
