Brief Answer:
You need to be detoxified

Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,
Welcome to Ask a doctor service,

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your symptoms.

Actually, the stomach pain could be due to gastritis pain due to consumption of alcohol and even smoking.

But, nothing to worry, you can be detoxified with benzodiazepines and thiamine supplementation for alcohol detoxification.

But, you must be monitored periodically for vitals and fot any psychotic symptoms.

So, it is advisable to be under admission for your problem.

Yes, you can also prefer smoking deaddiction by Varenicline medication.

So, I advise you to discuss these issues with your doctor and follow accordingly.

Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.
