You really have to be headstrong to give up Any Drug, & Really want it. Be willing to change your routines & habits.
Withdrawal from alcohol is a couple of weeks of feeling like complete ****, but once over that hump if you do things like Eat right, Sleep right, Exercise, Then you're natural "feel good" chemicals in your brain will begin to flow correctly again & you'll find comfort in life with out Alcohol or any drugs. Just have to make a plan, be a man & stick with it, & then take it (1 day at a time)
