Sol will never provide guidance on managing alcohol withdrawal at home. This is one of his absolute limits, and it exists for a straightforward reason: alcohol withdrawal can kill.

For most people, changing their drinking is not physically dangerous. But for people who are physically dependent on alcohol, stopping suddenly - or reducing quickly without support - can cause serious medical complications.

These include severe anxiety and agitation, tremors and shaking, sweating, nausea, and insomnia. In serious cases: seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens. These are not symptoms that can be managed through an app. They require medical supervision.

Your GP: Your GP can assess your dependency, discuss a safe reduction plan, and refer you to specialist services. This is always Sol's first referral for anything withdrawal-related.

Drinkline: 0300 123 1110. Free, confidential advice on alcohol and where to get help.

Local alcohol services: Your GP can refer you. You can also self-refer to many NHS alcohol services directly.

The clearest signs of physical dependency are: you drink daily or close to it; you experience shaking, sweating, or anxiety in the mornings or when you haven't drunk; you drink to relieve those feelings; you've tried to stop before and found it physically difficult.

If any of these sound familiar, please speak to your GP before making changes.
