The ER could be helpful though. They can maybe help you find a healthy way to deal with withdrawal. Better than beer and possible alcoholism IMO. I think it's worth a try despite negative experiences. Can't be worse than drinking often.

If you had a negative experience at one hospital, maybe you could try a different one, even if is further away? IDK if they'd give you a few more benzos and develop a taper plan, but you could ask.
