I've been drinking every single day for at least 5 years. I only drink at night--from about 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., and in that time I drink at least 1 and sometimes 2 bottles of wine. I often wake up with a headache. I'm concerned about withdrawal. I've been seeing a counselor who told me to ask my dr for a prescription for librium to take for three days to get me through any withdrawal. The counselor said "No reason to wait until after the presentation; your withdrawal won't be bad, and you'll be through it by Thursday." I got the courage to ask the dr for the prescription. She gave it to me, but she said "Wait until after the presentation; withdrawal could be pretty bad for you on Thursday."
I want to start today; I'm afraid if I wait until Friday, I'll change my mind! I have the MWO book, I have all the recommended supplements. So in the experience of you wise people, will I be a mess on Thursday if I stop drinking tonight? Or should I wait until Friday? I don't think my withdrawal will be too bad, especially with the librium, but I've never done this before, so I don't know.
Thanks for any advice! I've been reading posts here for a few weeks, and you've given me the courage to do this!
