I will bite the bullet and just stop. If God wants me to die during my withdrawal, so be it.
That is passing the buck. I am pretty sure that God would like you to stop drinking. I am pretty sure that God doesn't want to die while stopping though and that can happen if you have a seizure from acute alcohol withdrawal and don't get immediate medical attention. I am pretty sure that God would like you to go the ER if you are physically addicted, in order to prevent that from happening. I am pretty sure that God wants to see you take personal responsibility and be an active participant in your own recovery process.

Two guys were out on a lake fishing when a storm blew in. They decided that they should get to shore as soon as possible. However they discovered that the outboard motor wouldn't start. The one guy said "Let us pray brother." The other guy handed him an oar and said "I already did and God said to row while we pray."
