Welcome to SR. Is your plan to quit drinking?
Mine would be to see a doctor and detox under medical supervision. Withdrawals are serious business.

Not to frighten you, but the shakes can be a precursor for more dangerous detox territory such as D.T's and seizures.
Based upon the volume and quantity you have stated you have been consuming, your safest measure is to detox professionally or at the very least, see a doctor and be honest with your consumption level.
Please be well.

Think of it this way - can you afford the alternative if you don't get help and something goes wrong?

It really is horrible and I can still feel what you are going through. I always home detoxed but was so ill, I was probably in a lot of trouble, but got lucky. Try and see someone but meanwhile, as suggested above, plenty of fluids and rest. I really feel your pain xxxx

Hi Copano Bay - there is no home treatment for the shakes I'm afraid.
There are a lot of free or low cost clinics around - if there's one in your local area you might get some medical advice there?
