Welcome to the forum, glad you are here! There are lots of resources ans wonderful people on here, it’s a great place to start 
If your body is dependent, it can be dangerous to detox from alcohol on your own - please seek medical attention if your symptoms get worse after stopping. We’ll be here for you, you got this!

Welcome! I hope u can get support on here!
Welcome Brandon! So glad you found us.
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your DOC?
Preparing yourself for hard days to come is a good thing. Have you made a plan on what to do when cravings kick in? For me it helped to make such a plan. My doc is alcohol. So for me I avoided every alcohol related event the first 3 month of my recovery, I stripped the house from alcohol, avoided the wine section in the supermarket, filled my fridge with healthy food, bought chocolate to eat when I crave alcohol, etc. Did you deleted the phone numbers of your dealers for example? Just think forward to things that you can do to avoid using again.
Be nice to yourself and your body, sleep and rest when you can!
Welcome!!
