        On my way.

        Tapering, have the multis, have the milk thistle, have the B's. Also have the six perscriptions I take daily. Water and lemon in hand! I am going to beat this beast!

            getting there I hope

            had to have a couple this am due to the shakes, trying to cut down 10% a day. I think people are losing patience with me. While I would go for inpatient, I don't think it would work as I don't live in an inpatient world. I live in the real world. Just trying to do the best I can.

              a question - why is it better do taper off and not go cold turkey? My husband believes in going cold turkey and I cannot - feels if I will dye. He practically forced me one time to go off cold turkey, and really I think that I was near my end. Did make it though...afterwards I always told him I must go off slowly and he says it is not the right way - is it dangerous to go off cold turkey?

                very dangerous to go cold turkey..depending on how much you drink you could have seizures

                sorry for the late response

                  Beachbump,

                  If you are going to go cold turkey, you should get Librium or some other benzo from your doctor. They will keep you from having seizures.

                  Otherwise, taper is much safer.

                  It is not only seizures but strokes and heart attacks, too, to worry about. If you take you blood pressure when you are going cold turkey, you will see what I mean.

                  Mine goes to 200+/150+, very dangerous.

                  Of course, this does depend on how much you are drinking when you go cold turkey.

                  Best of luck to all!!

                    BP

                    Have BP meds. That should help.

                      Not sure if that will help with the risk of seizure, though.

                        I hope so

                        Had a seizure in Feb. when I stopped. Don't want that again.

                          azmarkm,

                          If you had a seizure once, your chances of having another with withdrawal is greatly increased. I would definitely go to a doctor and get meds, or taper down.

                          Tapering is very difficult. Once I take a drink, I want many more.

                          However, it can and has been done by many here. It helps to have someone you trust administering the alcohol to you as you taper. That way you can't easily start drinking all that you have.

                          Please take care and determine the best method for you that is safe.
