Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Healthy consumption of alcohol do not affect your health. You should know your healthy limit. When you feel craving and withdrawal then it is addiction and for that you should go for de addiction.

Detoxification and treatment of medical complication is main part of treatment.
Motivation and psychological counseling will play major role.
So treatment of it is multi dimensional approach and require indoor treatment.

Consult psychiatrist for further help.

Glad to help you further.

Thank you.
