I am trying to stop drinking. I drink EVERY day WAY more than almost anyone I know. Been drinking to excess for 20 years off and on. Many times I have quit, just got tired of it. I actually own my own company, with employees and everything. 8 years ago I went back to college and received 3 undergrad degrees. (only drinking on the weekends)
But now I have been up to my old ways, drinking every day, sometimes all day. I actually function well, I have a lovely wife who understands that I am self medicating. I will not go to a doctor. Now when I stop cold turkey, I am miserable for days. Tremors, shaky, panics, can't sleep for more than a few minutes at a time, and when I do I will literally jerk awake.
When I am awake and can keep myself busy doing something productive I am ok for the most part.
Just need some advice on the vitamins, diet etc, to try and alleviate these symptoms. A friend of mine, who was a bigger drunk than me actually weaned himself off alcohol by drinking a little less every day, then would skip a day, then drink a little less, etc etc, but somehow I think my symptoms when I stop are worse.
Oh yeah, I also was diagnosed with hepatitis C a couple years back (bad choices a long time ago, before there was Hep C, then it was known as non A non B hepatitis. That doesn't help me any...
