Is weaning an option?
Greetings all! I am new to this site (also new to blogging and posting in general) and have a few questions about the detoxification process.... Has anyone had any success weaning off of alcohol? I have been drinking anywhere from 40 - 60 oz of beer daily for the past 8 years (more on my days off...) and would like to quit "cold turkey", but am terrified of having DT's. I understand that they only occur in <5% of recovering alcoholics, and are easily controlled by anti-seizure medications like Xanax or Ativan, but as someone with an addictive personality, I'd much rather detoxify slowly/naturally as opposed to substituting one drug for another. What say you folks?
