Hello
Im 27 years old and have drank a bottle and half of wine for the past 9months every nite. I don't drink in the daytime. I usually start drinking about 10pm until 1pm. Ive suffered with insomnia since 2009 and drinking has helped me sleep and has now spiralled into this. I hate alcohol its not the fun it used to be. Wud it be safe to cut down my alcohol intake until it was nil or shud i jus go cold turkey. I cant believe i got myself into this mess!
I would go to your doctor and tell them the truth about your drinking and that you want to stop. They may be able to help you get safely thru detox. After that, you should choose a method of recovery like AA or other programs, out patient treatment, counseling. Then work it like your life depends on it, cause it does.
Welcome to SR, RhiRhi. I agree with least; your doctor should be able to give you the best advice on detoxing. Moderation never worked for me and I see tapering as similar; once I picked up a glass of wine, all bets were off.

Hi RhiRhi - welcome
Detox can sometimes be problematic - seeing a Dr is best for your own well being - I'm sure your Dr has dealt with this before. If necessary you could always find another Dr. for this.
