I'd take your doctors advice then - try to drink lots of water and eat good foods if you can, and rest if possible. Make sure someone close to you knows what you are doing so that they can call for help should you not be able to do so on your own.

I personally quit Cold turkey before ( also a heavy beer drinker ) and once ended up in the ER, I literally thought I was having a heart attack. It turned out not to be the case and was most likely just anxiety from the WDs' but I needed help.
