It's very dangerous just to stop as the body as become dependant on the drink.
Needs to be done under supervision of a doctor by planned detox.
It's good the person has decided to stop but it has to be done gradual. First port of call is their doctor

She will need to have Liver Function Tests to first determine the level of damage sustained by years of heavy drinking. She really should consult her GP.
