How Long Did Your Taper Last?
That thought crossed my mind too. The only training they get here, at the medical school consists mainly of presentations by NA and AA, and the trainee doctors visit a few AA meetings. It is not easy to find a doctor with experience in recovery from alcoholism.
I tapered, I did it in about three days. The day that was my quit day, I ended up having a half shot of rum because I had such a rapid heartbeat. That delayed my quit by one day, but it worked.
I had been drinking all day every day for months, drinking daily for years.

I'll join the never had luck with tapering crowd but I have tried it and know there are websites out there that give advice on how to taper based on your alcohol intake quantity and length of use.
Found them by a Google search and if I remember correctly quiet a few came up.
However, I'd agree on seeing a doctor who understands addiction if this taper doesn't work. As you can tell by the responses it hasn't been very successful for most of us here.
