If you can, go to a walk in clinic, call in sick tomorrow. Seizures don't discriminate, you can be 20 or 70, male or female, but you don't have to quit cold turkey, it is playing with fire. Also, benzos will speed up the process and get you some rest.
Then seek treatment.
On my first appoitment the medical nurse actually told us if we had been drinking to keep on as to prevent a seizure and on our next individual appoitment they would detox us and go forth from there. They really play it safe or safest those people.
I would actually recommend not to drink but get into a clinic for a week prescription and then take it from there wih support and treatment.
