Tell your family and friends that you’re trying to stop drinking alcohol and explain why. This way, you can share your successes with them, and they’ll understand .

The best gift that you can give to you and to your baby is quitting alcohol. It is very malefic for your liver. Its good that you have decided to quit this. I think your will power is one of the most powerful weapon that will help you to quit this habit. You can also join any rehabilitation center.

You are so lucky to be pregnant, kills me that you are just now quitting. Put baby before yourself from this point on and all will hopefully be well. Your baby will love and respect you if you do right by him or her

I am so glad that you have finally come to a realization that alcohol abuse is truly poisonous to your body.  It leaches vitamins and nutrients out of you and damages your central nervous system. That is why I always suggest that alcohol detox take place in a hospital  under medical supervision. You need to be on medication such as benzodiazepines to prevent seizures and have IV vitamin supplementation, especially thiamine, among others. Please do not take this advise lightly. Talk to your doctor and see what s/he can arrange for you. It does not take long, but alcohol detox is the only one that can actually be deadly if not done right.
Good luck to you and stay well.
