night 3
Hi everyone,
just an update yesterday was night 3 of my alchol tapering (which I dont recomend) I would much perfer just quit cold turkey however I am worried about withdrawls and I have anxiety about taking medications (almost died when I was a kid from medication) anyways 3 days ago I was at a bottle and half of wine everynight to sleep started out as only a glass and grew over 6months straight. I'm glad to say that I was able to reduce it again last night to 2 and half glasses about 380ml. I know I'm not there yet but I am proud of I step towards freedom. Today I could feel the difference in my body first day in months I didn't wake up with a headace or hangover, however I felt much more like my oldself except a little on edge and anxious and a bit foggy at times through the day. I aslo get a sort of sleep apena where I wake up with a rapid pulse for a minute or so this happened before I ever started drinking think it comes from my anxiety, or least that's what my doc said before. anyways tonight I am going to continue to reduce.

I hoping within the next 2 days, in the meantime I am going to continue to taper. when do you think it would be safe to stop the taper I was thinking when I'm at 1 or less glass a night?
what do you think?

they said to cut down to 500ml I guess thats about 3/4 of a bottle from a whole bottle and then smaller and smaller didn't give that myuch detail.they also said I could do about 25ml less each day. but as so yesterday i reduced to about 3/4 but I fell asleep before fininshing so i only had about half a bottle so I figure dont want to go up so I going start with a little less than last night

ok...I have no experience of tapering I'm afraid, and it's one of those medical issues we're loath to get into here.
If you haven't got a Dr, and won't be seeing one, all I can suggest is you follow the advice of the rehab people - keep doing what you're doing....until you're down to nothing, or otherwise until you feel its safe to quit.
Or - my personal choice - re-call the rehab ppl?
Hope it's done soon
