First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit drinking!!
As far as answering, I assume you mean you want to quit drinking naturally and there are a lot of ways to do that, but part of it also depends on how much and how long you’ve been drinking. The best ways are slowly lowering your intake (which takes a long time sometimes), or going cold turkey (which is faster, but harder). Either way, the last thing is making the decision to quit, so you’ll eventually have to deal with the withdrawal.
For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you’ll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal…
Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it’s not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get). It also helps to distract yourself with a hobby or other tasks.
All that being said, it’s likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last drink (it’s never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don’t take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.
Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of a drug (and yes, your body treats alcohol like a drug) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!
