Anonymous Coward User ID: 209866 United Kingdom 03/16/2007 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Then you mean taper off with beer? I have been drinking vodka, a bottle a day for 15 years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 158667Think yourself lucky you kept it at one bottle a day for 15 years! The above advice about tapering off with beer is sound. Make sure it's the cheapest, fizziest, supermarket own-brand shit you can buy, and drink it ice-cold. Or just drink any typical American "Lite" beer. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 158667Because you are not an alcoholic. Any self-respecting alcoholic would drink a bottle of vodka for breakfast, then start planning what all else he/she was going to drink for the rest of the day, until they blacked out. Take the advice about tapering off with beer. You don't want to go through the DTs, seriously. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73913 United States 03/16/2007 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just came off the booze. I drank one beer per hour for 2 or 3 days then quit. No side affects. I think the hard part after that is in your head. AA can help with that or find something to do that you really enjoy and do that instead of drinking. |

Quoting: cold sweats, clammy skin, sick 158667Thanks you could try switching to weed... seriously it's way better than liquor, not addictive, and you won't want to drink when using it. At least that's how I quit drinking 'bout 9 years ago. I only had one relapse, had a few beers due to peer pressure (lol) 3 years ago and didn't like it or want anymore. |

Joe Six Pack User ID: 349786 United States 02/07/2009 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Valium is prescribed sometimes for alcohol withdrawal. Ice cream and candy can help with cravings. Maybe some folks at AA can give you some advice. Some groups are pretty cool, some are douchebags, you have to look around and find one you like, if you do find one you like. It's not for everyone, in my opinion. "Zero zero zero. Destruct.

I would also suggest strongly that you go to a full service Vitamin & Mineral store. You need to double up on vitamins right now. Lots of water - lots and lots of water, till you feel like you will burst. Some antioxidant tea. And lastly, But MOST IMPORTANTLY............... GOOD FOR YOU. Hang in there. Try calling your local AA chapter and see if they have any suggestions. They helped my sis a lot. Good luck hon! |

You could have a seizure or worse doing it alone.. Once you get through it and you want to talk to people who have been through what you have... this is a great site..
