AA: The best way to stop alcohol use is to join your chapter of alcohol anonymous. It is proven to help. If you have severe issues with alcohol use then DT is a real issue and would seek a local center that offers inpatient care. Best of luck you have made a good choice and just sent loose hope and keep at it.
