Getting rid of alcohol is not difficult. De-addiction center is available to help you. You can visit any alcohol de-addiction center or consult any well reputed psychiatrist of your area. He/she will help you. A strong willpower is needed from your part also.
Advice
1.     Zolpidem at bed time per oral for 30 days
2.     Do not use Zolpidem for more than 30 days
3.     Avoid driving & swimming because it may impair ability to drive or operate machinery
