You can't quit alcohol cold turkey- you risk complicated withdrawal with severe complications including seizures. Present to the emergency room- they have to at least evaluate and stabilize you, and the social worker should help you figure out how to get treatment with no insurance. It can be done but, sadly , you have to work at it. Don't mess around with this, please.
