Ask yourself if there will ever be a "good" time to stop. For years I kept telling myslef I was too stressed to stop drinking and that I'd stop next weekend. I stopped when I lost my job. Yes detox is unpleasant, but you can survive it. Could you book a Friday or a Monday off work and have a three day weekend. That would give you uninterupted time to get over the worst of the withdrawal.

Once you're off it, there's a medication that you can take that will keep you off it. Revia (Naltrexone) is an opiate antagonist so it blocks you from getting any high when you take an opiate. Up here it's pretty widely prescribed to opiate addicts. It also helps with alcohol cravings which is what I take it for. But you need to have the opiates out of your system first otherwise if you take it, it'll immediately put you into withdrawal.
