Withdrawing from alcohol all by istelf can be potentially dangerous, but paired with Benzos it becomes even more complicated.

If you don't live in an are where free health care is an option, check into whatever your local drug/alcohol resources are - most municipalities have something and can help arrange reduced cost or sometimes even free detox. If you have a salvation army they are another place that offers free detox in some areas.

You could also go to your local AA/NA chapter to see if they know of places to find help, or even go to a meeting while you are there.

Bottom line though, quitting is definitiely a good choice for you - just go about it safely. And of course you will find lots of support here - save medical advice. That's against site policy for the safety of everyone involved.
