Starting? No sir I’ve had a problem for a long time now lol. Fr though, I’d like to stop but it genuinely frightens me.

At your level of drinking, stopping cold turkey can be dangerous, even fatal. Consider seeking out a medically supervised withdrawl management program (they used to be called "detox"). These clinics are physician supervised and usually use low-dose benzodiazapines to wean your brain off addiction.
A lot of these programs like Fairbanks are expensive and require either good insurance or that you have the means to self-pay, but others like Salvation Army Harbor Light Centers will pretty much take all comers.
