If you have ever experienced discomfort between drinking episodes, even just hand trembling, I would not suggest you do this at home. My daughter, who is addicted to drugs and alcohol, tried to quit cold turkey and had a seizure in the backseat of our car. Very scary. She has been detoxed several times in the hospital (with no insurance at all). She was able to get short-term funding through her county.
As Anna said, everyone is different. What might cause withdrawal for one may not for another. But you can't know ahead of time. Even the same person can react differently with separate incidents.
Good luck to you.
