We aren't allowed to give medical advice here. I highly suggest that you check with your doctor to see what he or she recommends for you to detox safely. There are way too many variables that can occur depending on your individual body and health status.
Please stick around here and get support. To answer part of your question, yes you CAN get rid of alcohol and its control over you. There are many here who have done so by utilizing various methods. I got sober via A.A. and the support I get from there is immeasurable as well as here. Some go to rehabs and some do other programs as well.
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the very few that has the potential to kill if not handled properly so once again I urge you to check in with your doctor prior to trying to detox.
Good luck and stick around!
