Welcome, S. My sponsor comes from a family that owned a brewery. So can understand that part. For me- it means regular support, not just a good idea to want to stop. That means for me- meetings. I did SMART (good) and do AA.
Also- self medicating on prescription meds- very unsafe. Suggest you see a doc just to make sure your baseline health is ok- and to prevent w/d horrors (like seizures). Having a plan of action is important for sobriety. Just like a business venture- a good idea needs goals, strategies and HOW to carry out that plan. Lots of info in the sticky's. Being aware of having an issue with booze is great- it is proactively using that awareness with informed decisions and actions is the key. I also see a counsellor regularly.
Empathy and support to you, PJ.
