So, I am vulnerable now to admit that I have to stop drinking alcohol. I will record my journey here. So far I am tapering as the side effects are just too much. I used to drink three bottles a day and now I am on 1.5. I am proud of myself even though it is a slow way to sobriety. But I have persevered so far and only broke down once. I did try to quit two other times and both times I did it for a month without any side effects. However, I read medical research and it said that the more times you quit the harder it will be in terms of side effects. Makes sense now. I don’t have much support from my friends so I am doing it solo. I guess I just have to be proud of myself which is fine. I take it one day at a time and if I relapse again I will pick it up from there.
