Helbel:
I tapered and had my last two drinks on August 3. The first 6 days were fine, but the rest of the time has been hard for me, feeling lethargic and having difficulty concentrating and sleeping.
I did not drink large amounts of alcohol by some standards, but from a medical perspective I would be considered a heavy drinker with 4 to 5 drinks daily. Not enough for hangovers, but enough to have a negative impact on my health and life.
I'm just taking each day as it comes. I drank for a long time, so I don't expect miracles to take place overnight.
