Paulos -
You sound just like me. I am cutting back tremendously while waiting for a pshch. appointment on 02/12 (first available). I have cut back from 6 - 8 vodkas per night to just 2. It was hard at first, but I'm doing well while taking lots of supplements. I could not even fathom quitting smoking at the same time. I figure I will slay one dragon at a time. Good for you!!!
I'm hoping for some help from the pshch. in the form of meds/counseling/etc. What are you waiting for?? Are you attending AA in the meantime??
Keep me posted on your progress. I'd love to keep in touch with someone who is going through the same thing at the same time.
