Taper...

I did a taper and it worked for me...BUT, huge but..I only did it for three days.

I had been drinking all day every day, hard alcohol for a few years. On Day One I had two beers. Day two, one drink. Day three, just a half shot of rum. Then I was done and struggled through the rest of the stuff without any more alcohol and without Rx drugs.

It can be done.

What's your plan? When will your taper end? Make it soon, don't leave it open-ended because there is always a "reason" (excuse) to drink..

Super sensitivity and anxiety was all part of the drinking and the withdrawal for me and it got better quickly. I also had PTSD and other issues and they can be sorted in time, but first put out the fire.
