Welcome to SR you will find a lot of support here.
Going to AA for f2f support is a great idea. I would also suggest that you check in with your doctor just to be on the safe side and s/he might give you some meds to make the detox easier.
Make sure you stay well hydrated, I always recommend people drink sports drinks or Gatorade while detoxing but there are some on SR who swears by Pedialyte (the baby formula) because it balances your electrolytes.

I would recommend also that you join the class of February so you can network with your peers who quit at the same time and are going through fairly similar things

The Alcoholism and Addictions Help Forums- by SoberRecovery.com (Class of February 2016 Support Thread Part 2)

I would also encourage you to join us at the 24 hours recovery connections where we commit not to drink or drug for the day. It is a fun supportive thread and way to hold ourselves accountable

I am glad you joined us. You can do it
