what to do??
Well I'm into my ssecond day of not drinking, but today iI went and visited the Dr and he has told me not to just stop but to try and moderate this week until I have all my bloods done and. I get in to see the shrink
Don't know what to do now as I don't want to cause more damage by just stopping, but don'twant to drink either - someone help please

The Mayo Clinic site warns against suddenly stopping and gives similar advice. We can't give medical advice here. Does your doctor understand that you really want to quit altogether? I know some doctors prescribe meds for a few days. Well, I really wish you well.

The UK position seems to be try moderation/tapering first.
Not to offend, but I think it's a reflection on their overburdened health system more than anything else.
If you're unsure as to what to do contact your Dr again - make it plain that you've already stopped and you would prefer to continue that way.
See what he/she suggests.

Whatever you decide, make sure you do this safe.
