Hi,

The withdrawal symptoms occur due to the drug's effect on the brain. Your liver may also have been damaged by now but the withdrawal symptoms are due to the changes in the brain. Rather than stopping abruptly, you should try reducing your intake gradually. This will minimize the withdrawal symptoms and make it easier for you to quit.

Best wishes.
