Would need more info to answer your question. After a plea (Alford or otherwise), it can be withdrawn in many but not all cases. Depends on the facts of your case, why you want to withdraw it, and what court the case was in.
In many situations, if you attempt to withdraw a plea and the prosecutor objects, and you are unable to withdraw it, the prosecutor is now allowed to recommend a higher sentence than the original agreement. Sometimes they could even add additional charges. So there is some risk, but it depends greatly on what court the case is in.
