I can just echo the go see your Dr. and be blatantly honest. The appetite is not likely there, because there is a constant drink/detox cycle and the anxiety causes a loss of appetite. The Dr. can give you medication that will relieve the detox symptoms AND it will also help with the appetite. For me diet is also extremely important. Complex carbs and good sources of protein are important. Contrary to some guidance avoid simple carbs/sugars as though these may relieve cravings momentarily, they mimic adding alcohol to your system and the cravings come back with a vengeance. Alcohol is a simple carb, so some of the withdrawal is not just withdrawal from alcohol, but from the constant peaks and valleys of blood sugar. A doctor can help you. Over the years I have detoxed multiple times and there is absolutely not shame in seeing your Doctor for help and is recommended. The other way from experience is not fun and often one looks for "relief".
