Suffering is not an option. It is good that you have I sight about your problem. The treatment consist medicine and psychotherapy both. You need to take an opinion from psychiatrist and if needed Dr. Will start medicine for withdrawal. The psychotherapy with addiction therapist will help you develop insight and techniques for handling craving etc. Long term abstinence will help you. The goal is not just stopping but staying stopped. For more information feel free to contact.

Hello
It is never too late to quit.
Treatment for addiction consists of a combination of medicines and therapy. Medicines are helpful to deal with the initial unpleasant effect when you first stop taking alcohol/ Nicotine as well as helps with craving..
It should be combined with therapy / counseling sessions to support you during the process.
