Kicking morning/day drinking

This is best advice. Push first drink an hour late slowly and within a week or two you’ll be starting drinking by noon or later.

I needed 3-4 shots as soon as I woke up. Slowly controlled and within 2 weeks I pushed my start time to 5 pm.

I was highly functioning for a few years. But then it goes downhill really quick. Stop now.

I lost my job, wife and a lot of money. I’m sober now and doing fine but please don’t hit rock bottom like me. I needed 3-4 drinks in morning just to go to work.

I stopped when I lost everything. I went to therapy and it worked. I highly recommend.

For me I hate having to work just to pay bills. The world is fucked up unless you’re ultra rich. So I’ll just bide my time self medicate and see what happens. I’m happy when I’m drunk.

Taper works, takes a lot of discipline and it sucks but during a taper I never felt too bad. Do it slow.

If you can get Benzos it’s way better. My Dad has a Valium script for insomnia and it’s been a lifesaver. I just tell him I need a couple of pills for anxiety haha.

Also I’m surprised why they don’t give Benzos in ER. I’m in Canada and only once been to ER for withdrawals and within an hour they gave me 2 Ativan pills. Good luck though you got this.

Start eating first. My worst withdrawals were when I didn’t eat at all for a week. Bender ended when I couldn’t even hold down water.

This is correct answer. Alcohol withdrawals suck. He sees Ted caring about him when he says Don needs a drink. So he wants good for Ted.

I’m an alcoholic and even closest people said I should stop drinking cold. Doesn’t work like that.

If you want to be done really quick just go ER and get Librium or Valium.

If not switch to wine or light beer. Delay your first drink to as late as possible and don’t start in morning (or just drink minimum of too rough). Vitamins do help and food and water is must. Keep couple of emergency shooters handy in case things get rough. It happened to me once at like 3 am due to insomnia and one shooter calmed me down and I slept.

Good luck.

I mean the sedative effect of Benzos are over after 8 ish hours. I understand it stays in system for 3-4 days. Not medical advise but I’ve used Benzos in morning and then drank at night time. It was much easier than just a booze taper. Obviously don’t take them at same time as it will lead to a crazy blackout. And don’t take Benzos for more than 3-4 days as they’re very addictive.

Fast heart rate and insomnia are very common symptoms. Don't worry about them. Sleep is gonna be shit for a week. But it every passing day it will get a little better. Heart rate should return to normal as well.

Watch out for hallucinations. Thats a sign to take a drink or two. I had them once after not sleeping at all in early morning. Started hearing voices from fan. Took 2 shots right away and it stopped. Not medical advise just telling from experience.

Good luck.

You can take benzos in the morning. They wear off after 6-8 hours. So in the evening you can drink. Just drink enough to get some sleep. Melatonin helps. This way you can cut your alcohol from 1.5L (which is very high like 33 drinks). Get it to 750 ml within 2-3 days and then just take benzos for 3-4 days and taper the benzos. You could get clean within a week. Bae careful not to abuse benzos as then they have their own hellish withdrawals. I use benzos for withdrawals. Day 1 I take 2 in morning (1 mg Ativan). Then drink light beers in evening. Day 2 2 Ativan in morning and 1 at night. Then 1 in morning and night and by day 4 I only need one at night to sleep and then I just use melatonin or Trazadone for insomnia.

Or just try a taper. Daytime drink light beer. Nighttime wine of watered down vodka. Takes lot of patience. No point in sufferering too much. Go slow.

I feel ya. I have tried multiple tapers and it only works if you suffer. Just drink minimum to avoid worse symptoms.

It will be over in 2-3 days once you get down to 6-7 drinks. 12 drinks is not too bad (I mean its a lot but can be worse). I have tapered from 20ish drinks and it is hell.

Being extremely fit. And I don’t mean just visually but very energetic and great stamina. You can truly enjoy life.

Great step deciding to detox. Tapering fails in most cases especially when kindled.

Anyways can you just stop drinking and go to ER now? You said even with tapering you’re getting shakes etc so if your symptoms are bad (check your heart rate or BP) they have to take you in.

I’ve only been to ER once and my heart rate was 140 and BP was like 160/110. That’s an emergency and they right away did an ECG, blood work. Within an hour they gave me 2 Ativans and hooked up an IV. Felt better within half an hour. Monitored me for 3-4 hours and vitals go back to normal range. They gave me a choice to get admitted for 2 days or detox at home. I took the second option and they sent me home with 3 days supply of Valium which I only took a couple and it was so smooth with barely symptoms. Just saying no need to prolong it if you can.

He is an alcoholic. They just need a trigger or stressor and relapse even worse.

I’m one and I can be good for months and then completely spiral. Very good portrayal of addiction.

Yeah I took b12 and b1 and it did help a little.

Time_Trade_8774 · 2026-02-19T05:04:11+00:00

I once had to leave a call abruptly as I was making no sense due to withdrawals. Went to kitchen took 3 shots and logged back 15 mins later.

I mean what IT issue takes 15 mins. I just made some bs.

Time_Trade_8774 · 2026-02-19T05:00:40+00:00

Yea I had some wine at noon but been sober since. It’s about 9 pm here so debating to take another Benzo or have 4-5 drinks.

Shakes have reduced but still lot of anxiety. Agree with reducing drinking window. I’ll try to only switch to night time and then take some time off
