alcohol withdrawal process Posted: 01-16-08 02:21am
Hello all. I've been drinking about 1-1.5
pints of hard liquor (usually in mixed
drinks) a night for the past 6 months. I
never use to drink except socially and
then one day I just started ... next thing
I knew I was just drinking automatically
... and here I am 6 months later. I hate
it and I want to stop immediately.
I am worried about the withdrawal. I've
heard that it is a bad idea to just stop
cold turkey. Does anyone have any
suggestions about how I should go about
this? I know my drinking intake might not
sound much to some, but the fact remains
that it has become a habit and one that is
starting to really worry me. Thanks in
advance for the advice.

Thank you for the reply. I'm just
wondering how I should go about it. The
problem is that I also smoke and I would
like to quit that too. But I'm afraid to
stop both at the same time.

sure! as i said u must just stop it little
by little, if before you do 1 bunch of
cigaritte now make it half then the next
1/4.. you should be patient and be aware
not to take 1 bunch in a day again if you
really want to stop it!! it's not good for
you!!
