How did you quit

If you've been drinking a pint or two every day after work for any significant period of time, then you need to go to a rehab or a  detox facility at least. I was drinking a 1L every day after work and a 1.75L on my days off, if I tried to do it myself the withdrawals would have killed me. You also need to be medically assisted through your detox, they'll probably give you phenobarbital which will make it bearable but it's still going to be rough for the first 3 days. I'd certainly recommend a 30 day program over a 7 day detox, they will help you get sober and give you the knowledge and stay sober.

Edit: Just want to add that weening off is great, if someone can successfully do that then they should. Most people who get to the point that OP is at can't though. And I imagine practically everyone would try weening off prior to committing themselves to an inpatient facility.
