Welcome and I hope you feel at home, I can relate to what you are going through as I made a career drinking.

As others have noted when we find ourselves with the shakes in the morning, drinking in the morning.....there is no going back to being a social drinker, I have tried many times over the years and I end up in the ER or Detox, many times both. For me it only takes one and I honestly can not stop for days, generally
weeks.

I echo seeing a doctor to help ease the withdraws a bit if you are going to go through this at home, it's safer and will help a bit with the early temptations to drink and ease the shakes.

I am a believer to beat this sickness we need to have a plan in place and there is a lot of reading here on the site about making one, stay close to the forum, consider an AA meeting, maybe you can met a few ladies with some sobriety time behind them that you could call in case of a need, AA also has toll free support lines.

All the best
Andrew
