I would recommend doing whatever you possibly can to avoid drinking. Spend time here on SR if you need a distraction. Find some AA meetings - they are held literally around the globe. Read the big book, it's free and available online. Read up about AVRT or some of the many other self-paced recovery methods out there.
Quite literally, if your withdrawals are getting as bad as you mention, you may not have a choice "next" time and end up in the hospital against your own will. It does get that bad...and I think you are dangerously underestimating the severity of your problem.
