[QUOTE=biminiblue;6807712]Yeah, I did a taper.

"August, while I agree with your points, you did cold-turkey with medical help, right? You didn't just quit without medication after a handle of vodka every two days, did you?"

Yes I did it cold turkey without knowing at all what alcohol withdrawal is. I just thought I would quit. Went a whole month without it but had a panic attack and sleep paralysis every single night. Btw I also suffer from clinical depression and she (my therapist) said it might be alcohol withdrawal and to try to taper by half instead of go cold turkey and said that If I experienced bad symptoms to come back.

After she made me aware of what alcohol withdrawal ive just been kind of scared of possible seizures and things. It so easily relieves me from depression that it is very addicting, somehow I managed to half it everyday but I need to know if actually works to keep going
