I've done it for two days and feel much, much better. I'm an obsessive planner so I wrote it all down in my planner and even bought stickers to remind me. It's another addiction I have. I don't leave home without my planner.
I usually have quite a bit on Thanksgiving but this year did not. I had one glass of wine and turned down a second and turned down some shots. Hubby was right there with me and supported my decision as tough as it was. That was yesterday, this is today. One day at a time, right?
Going to my second AA meeting tonight.
I successfully tapered a couple times. If there is anything I can convey to you is that you will still feel uncomfortable at times (and you;ll want to drink more), but if you drink as little as possible, you can get your way through it. I also put a huge emphasis on eating properly. I wish you well. Keep us updated.
