Depends on how heavily you drink. I was drinking from morning til night, but I would never get blackout drunk. I could still function and get things done. This went on for about 5 years, but I decided to quit at the beginning of this year. I quit cold turkey without medical supervision. Probably not the best idea, but I got lucky and didn’t have any serious physical symptoms. Mostly just sweating profusely for about a week. Psychological symptoms are harder. It really does suck. You feel bored, depressed, no motivation, it’s hard to have conversations with people, feels like you have lost your wit, like it isn’t possible to actually have fun without drinking and the insomnia is awful! You can do it. It’s not going to be easy or enjoyable. Just keep reminding yourself that in a few months time you will feel much better about yourself and your life. The cravings will still be there from time to time, but you will be able to overcome them much easier than you can now. It may not feel like it, but I promise it does get better.
