Hi breezy welcome! First off get all the alcohol out of the house. I'm not sure about tapering, I've heard it helps some to quit. I went cold turkey but I know it can be dangerous for some. Are you able to talk to a doctor? What supplements are you referring to? You've got to get through the first few days of physical detox with sheer will and determination. The other side is freedom, but you need to grit your teeth and commit to this. Keep in touch, check out the newbies nest and the toolbox. Stay close. Do you have anyone who can be with you to monitor you for a couple of days?

Welcome back breezy!

You need a good plan, be sure to visit the Tool box for good ideas.
Sounds like maybe you could use some medical help to taper, stopping suddenly could be dangerous. Have you seen your doc? Explain your anxiety/drinking situation, get an Rx for something to take the edge off.

Be sure to drop in the newbies nest thread for ongoing support!
Wishing you the best!

Hi Breezy,

Welcome back! Great advice so far I just want to lend my support. The life you want is really yours for the taking. MWO will give you TOOLS and SUPPORT. You just have to put in a little work yourself. I was amazed to find my anxiety melting away the longer AF time I got. I think the same thing will happen for you. Come on over to the nest and post away. The daily connection really helps.
