What stuff?: If you are drinking enough to be physically deepen cdent - you get symptoms when you try to cut down/stop like tremor, anxiety, sweating, insomnia etc. - they stopping cold turkey can be dangerous. Full blown alcohol withdrawal includes seizures and delirium (DTs), but also very elevated pulse/blood pressure which can cause cardiac problems. See your doctor for advice and get help stopping.
