AA works!
The answer to if you need detox is not something you can find on the internet. Drinking buddies are not the best source of valid information either.
If you are not physically addicted to alcohol, detox is not needed.
My opinion is that more then likely you are not physically addicted to it yet. The operative word is "yet". Emotional dependency is a totally different issue. This compulsion eventually can lead to both. Which is why I suggest going to an AA meeting (open preferred) and seeking help from some one who does the program.
Stopping drinking is only part of the problem. The hard part is putting something in to take it's place that does not do more harm.
Check the phone book or go to the AA site for help. Here is the link:
