Any reply welcomed

Hi Steve and welcome to SR.
The advice I got when I first came to SR was to seek medical advice. So make an appointment to see your doctor. Depending on the amount you were drinking, quitting on your own can be dangerous.
I am pleased you are here and that you want to get sober.

Hey Steve.
Seems like we've both decided to pack in the booze at the same time. I'm halfway through day one and sitting here sweating profusely watching my fingers shake. It ain't good.
I'm going to the doctors this week to get some advice and have a health check, I reckon that would be a good start.
Stay in touch, let me know how you're getting on.

in addition to the good advice here, eating sweets seemed to help me out too. Sounds silly, but I've heard other people say the same thing. Chocolate seemed to calm me down a bit as I went about the business of doing all the other stuff to be sober.....

Welcome Steve,
I've been sober almost 7 months now...whew, what a ride so far. I would not have made it through tho first few months without AA meetings (lots of them) and lots of reading and posting on SR.
