I am hopeful I can get to the point where I can have a couple of glasses of wine with my wife, or clients. But want to let things heal and hopefully have the symptoms go away or at least almost go away.
When you say you significantly cut back, are you talking like a few beers a night?

I share the same hope...I really just want to get back to the point where I can enjoy alcohol (a few drinks) socially with family and friends again. I significantly cut back in early April right when the symptoms began - that consisted of no more than 2-3 drinks a few days a week. Unfortunately there was no improvement and perhaps slight progession. For the last week and a half I completely cut alcohol out and have seen improvement - but it is like a good day/bad day thing (some days better than others), but definatly better.
