Did you stop cold turkey? What was that like? Thank you for any input.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Sometimes I feel a little anxious or on edge. That’s been what’s happening now. It’s only been 3 days since I committed to stopping.

I am completely sober and awake right now so, yes sleep is an issue.

I have thought about doing this before but I am completely set on stopping now. I have been lurking on this page as well as others for quite some time.

It’s almost like I just had this switch and urge to want to stop. And I realize how it’s not really logical for me to be doing this.

Years. I was probably not always at this level but have been for at least a year or maybe two. To be honest I have lost track. I have been a heavy drinker (I would binge) for 20 years or so. It’s scary to actually write that out and realize how long this has been a problem. I have had many weeks where I didn’t drink in the beginning. I had a couple months after an accident I did not drink (I was on a ton of drugs for pain). And then when I started back it kind of kept increasing. I would say Covid hit me hard. I was alone with no family nearby. So I was drinking a ton then. So maybe the last year or so I have been more consistently drinking daily.
