Me! I’m about done with wine and will begin tapering a benzo in the next few months *biting nails*.
It’s not easy but I’ve done it before and as long as it’s a slow taper it works well for me. I don’t like meds 🤷♀️

Hi everyone,
I'm joining too. I was in the June class but struggled after getting a few days. I hope I have a better plan this time and more determination. I attended my first online SMART meeting yesterday and found it to be helpful.

Hi All,
I'm joining the July class because I’m tired of taking a step forward, and a step back. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Drinking isn’t fun anymore. No booze in the house. Ready to take it one minute at a time if that’s what it takes.

I will also be tapering my prescribed benzo in a couple of weeks (maybe sooner). I’ve already cut .25 and will live with that for a couple of weeks before I do another micro cut and begin a slower taper. I tried eliminating the benzo before the alcohol, but found that I was drinking more to offset the benzo reduction.
