Continued taper, only had 2 oz alcohol last night spread over 3 hours.
Feel fine today, pulse still a touch high, but BP back to normal.
Tapered from 11oz of alcohol to 2oz in 72 hours and no side effects now.
Saw Alcohol worker today, he was glad with my progress, said I could have one drink tonight and be fine enough tommorow to stop, but advised me to do what I felt was best , and not be a slave to that whole thing about Anxiety being the excuse for a drink.

He was confident I wouldnt need a detox.But said my name is still there, Sure I wont need it ( Touch wood), he did say he would refer me to a 18 session/6 week counselling group though

No shakes or mind fog today and the only sweats are because its warm outside.
Feeling much better about things.
Got my first alcohol support meeting in a couple of hours

Bless you all
