Ladies and gents,
I tried really hard but have found myself in the grips of addiction once again.
I doubt that I will ever overcome this, so in the mean time, I'd like to offer my thoughts on tapering off.
While the sweats and shakes can be overwhelming and a trip to detox and the emergency room is advisable, I like to live dangerously and fear repercussions and medical bills associated with that.
So here is my advice/thoughts:
1. Accept the fact you are in withdrawal
2. Stay away from liquor, but realize you need something
3. Don't take pills - while effective, these should be prescribed and administered by a (ideally cute) nurse
4. If you smoke, dip, chew, etc, now is not the time to stop. Blue Powerade, Grizzly Wintergreen and salted almonds are my favorites.
5. Lastly, and most importantly, this is not a time to f*** around. Check into the emergency room, otherwise decrease you BEER consumption by 5 each each day. I'm currently three deep and planning on ten for the day. Curious to hear thoughts?
Tapering is hard (even harder when tapering spirits -my Vex)
I would always suggest going to an ER (Canada it's sorta, kinda free -EMT rides)
At a hospital you will receive fluids, vitamins, and possibly find out how deep you are in to booze.
To tapering at home; i couldn't do it, tried but failed frighteningly. I had to dial 911.
But if you drink say, 12 beers (355ml 10%+ > 5% EtOH) take one away each pack. till 0 ?
Spirits [40% EtOH 375ml 2per 24h *my Vex / i went with sipping 1 bottle per night to for months, then 1/2 that bottle for months and finally stopped - i got into withdrawal almost immediately]
Wine 2-x bottles, take one away per day ?
