Hello and Welcome Aylalarry
Sounds like to are strapping on your armour, and are ready for the fight. Good for you. Withdrawal is different for everyone. For people like me, with a serious physical dependence on alcohol, detox can be dangerous. I had to see a doctor and get Ativan, which is a benzodiazepine. I did detox at home, but I had to take the medication for 4-5 days, then I tapered off. It is good that u were able to share your struggle with those close to you. It really is helpful if u can get support from your loved ones. Believe me, No one in my family wants me drinking.lol. I wish u well as you begin this wonderful, life-saving journey. Stick around. I look forward to your future posts.
