Home remedies on how to quit alcohol can be dangerous. Medical advice should always be sought. Gradually reducing alcohol consumption over 10 days can be successful in a supportive environment.

Finding a supportive environment is easier said than done. Alcohol is not only a neuro-toxin, damaging the brain and nervous system, it is a social toxin. While the pretence continues that alcohol makes people more convivial, the truth is that it makes them thorough crashing bores. You’ve seen one alcoholic, you’ve seen them all.

By the time people are getting to the stage when they need detoxification, at home or elsewhere, they will have relatively few close friends left. Most have got fed up and gone. The ones who remain tend to be drinking companions who have similar dependency.

Home remedies are therefore dependent on the definition of ‘home’. If it is a genuinely supportive environment with loving people in it, then fine. If it’s a single room in a squalid basement, not fine. It’s too dangerous. Quit all pretence at self-reliance. Ask for help.
