Disease of addiction: I am so happy to have you reach out for help. You are much more likely to get better and do so in a more healthy way if you get help with detoxing and treatment for your condition. The risk of seizing and having other complications in the first week of your sobriety makes doing this under medical supervision a much better option. Your family doctor will be happy to help.
