Will seizures from alcohol withdrawal ever stop?

Usually, once the alcohol withdrawal is adequately treated with medicines, the seizures, if they indeed are secondary to withdrawal, typically do not recur. If the seizures continue after alcohol withdrawal has been adequately treated, then other causes of seizures are sought with other tests.

The fortunate thing is that, yes, they will stop, but how they stop is the critical question. If they are not too severe, they will stop on their own once the brain chemistry readjusts itself into an alcohol free state. The unfortunate thing is that if they are severe enough, they can cause death. That will make them stop, but the person will have lost their life. That is why alcoholism is considered a disease and getting sober is best done in a medical facility where they can administer drugs to help the person go through withdrawals more safely.

On a more philosophical note, as long as we have alcohol available, either legal or illegal, there will be alcoholics. And with that, there will be alcoholics that eventually choose sobriety, and so the answer may be that as long as that is the case, seizures from alcohol will never stop, or at least in the populace.
