I tried the cold turkey method once before, and had absolutely crazy withdrawals to the point where I was convinced I wasn't going to live to see the following week.

Then again, I was on a 12-pack a night for a number of years. I eventually started drinking again for a few weeks and then gave it a serious go to quit after that.

I did a taper down for about close to 2 weeks, which actually worked for me.

Strangely I had numerous beers on hand, and didn't want to have more until I got to the point where I only had a couple a night. Then a couple of days later I just stopped completely.

Anyways, I am currently on Day 50 or so of sobriety.

If I did it, so can you. I meant the quitting drinking part, not which particular method.

If it is which one is better suited for you that you are curious about, the people above have the right advice. You should see a doctor...I feel like a hypocrite b/c I never did, but I'm sure the Doctor can give you a great gameplan tailor made for you.

Good luck and well wishes to you. You are in for a fight, but believe me when I say it gets better.
