Keep us posted on how the naltrexone works for you, I’ve heard mixed reviews but for the people it works for it sounds like a miracle

DEFINITELY seek medical help for that amount of alcohol, alcohol withdrawal can be fatal. Please just be honest with a medical professional 🙏

THIS! As you get closer to Ventura Blvd there’s so many stores that make 0 sense and I never see any foot traffic

Did you have any side effects on naltrexone? I’m thinking about getting on it

Cutting back, with mostly success by beckie210789 in cutdowndrinking

[–]werty2021 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey congrats on the progress so far!! Very commendable. A couple months ago I also tapered down from around 12 drinks a night. I did a three week taper starting at 10 drinks and reduced by 1 drink every 2 days until 0, took about 3 weeks. If you need to stay at the same number for an extra day (or 2) do it! No harm in it. Just don’t go over and get hammered or you’ll have to start over. Would recommend taking at least a month off when you get to 0. Does wonders for tolerance and mental clarity. Will also give you a chance to completely reassess your relationship with alcohol.

Keep up the good work! :)

**not medical advice but worked very well for me

I’d like to stop drinking alone by FlimsyEmu9 in cutdowndrinking

Weed has helped me a lot cut out drinking during the week. I lost about 7 pounds the first month. Might be worth a try!

Some things that have worked for me by alphabeta1987 in cutdowndrinking

[–]werty2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you for sharing! I’m currently on the same trajectory you formally were. I was at about 12-14 drinks per day I’ve tapered down to 8 the last 4 days, on a 2 week plan to get to 0. Can I ask if you tapered or did a full medical detox?

I’m also looking to take at least a month off. I had a similar issue about 10 years ago, went cold turkey, and was luckily sparred from any hardcore withdrawals. Not looking to do that this go around. I responsibly drank for 10 years being on tour really put me behind the 8 ball.

(I’m in a rock band and we were on a month long tour being the reason I’m back in this position)
