I need to start somewhere

Update:

Day 1 of tapering - felt awful, shaking, retching the lot. Reached for the wine a little later than usual and drank less than usual. Slept for 2 hours.

Day 2 - felt a bit better. Bit of shaking, vomited, anxious, couldn't think straight. Held off drinking for 8 hours longer than usual. Drank less than the day before. 1 hours sleep.

Day 3 - felt better in the morning. No vomiting, less anxious, bit clearer in the head. Held off drinking for 10 hours longer than usual. I hope I get some sleep tonight.

Thanks for your support. I don't think I can change my name yet as I haven't got enough posts.

Wal, There is so much more to drinking than drinking. I tried to quit for 18 months constantly failing and then using my failure as an excuse to drink. Now I take my gabba, and L-glut 3 times a day. I see a therapist who suggested I stop setting unrealistic goals. I tapered down. Rum is my poison. I was at 8 to 10 shots a day for more than 3 years. Now I am AF 5 days a week. I decrease my AL every 6 weeks. 3 more weeks and I will only be drinking 1 day a week. My ultimate goal is to be AF but I know I could not do cold turkey. I needed baby steps and someone to talk to about my triggers. The only people who truly fail are the ones who stop trying! hang in there!
