Hi Bizi With me,it took six months to slowly stop drinking. Then after another six months I was off of it all together.

I know it's hard at times,but it's worth it. I'm sorry that you had a bad day. These days are difficult.

I had a very high tolerance for alcohol. I could drink 2 six packs of beer each night. I also drank 151 rum when I wanted to get smashed. I started drinking vodka during the day before I stopped.

I stopped drinking when my doctor gave me Quaalude for sleeping for two years,and after that time I wanted to get off of them. He did not taper me off of them,and I ended up drinking again. At this time I was severely stressed,and my neck tension was the worse,and my hands shook. My mind felt like it was going to snap. I had problems for awhile. I made it through this period of time.

Then it was about 2 years later that I stopped drinking for good. I separated myself from my drinking friends. All they wanted to do was drink,and draw me back to it.

It was not easy,but I've been sober for over 20 years. I deal with my anxiety problems in therapy,and a better form of medication now.

Hugs to you. BF
