So good, in fact, that I have developed a very high tolerance for the nice booze. I work a really stressful job, stressful in the "I'm going in to work today and someone may stab me to death before the day is out," fashion. I've been on the sauce every day now for 7 months. Soon though, I'm going to have a nice baby, and I don't want my life, and the child's life, to be about how drunk I am all the time. What is the best way to not die from the DTs? I've been drinking between 6 and 10 beers every night for 7 months. The only day I didn't drink was because I had a rifle qualification the next day and shaky hands are not good for gun shooting. So I laid in bed for hours and felt like I was going to throw up all over the place and got hot flashes. How do I handle this? Should I try and taper off? I work a second shift sort of job and cant stand the idea of just watching tv until I am ready to go to sleep, which used to be about 4 in the morning. I'm alone most of the time and I don't remember what to do at night that doesn't revolve around getting knee walking drunk. Thank you in advance, you monsters.

Probably try tapering. Or you can suck it up and get some benzos from a doctor but that goes on your record. Edit: Found a whole thing on tapering, http://www.hamsnetwork.org/taper/. Good luck dude. Falun Bong Refugee fucked around with this message at 07:13 on May 12, 2016 |

7 months lol For like a week drink half the previous's night intake until you hit 1 beer then the next day just drink 0 You will need actual willpower and desire to do this. Don't half-rear end it, don't make excuses 6-10 probably isn't enough to trigger the shakes if you went cold turkey unless you've been drinking like 12%++ beers. So you're probably freaking yourself out over nothing, and this is also, if you're being honest with yourself, probably a strategy to go "It's too hard to quit drinking" and continue on along the path you're on Good luck goon Falun Bong Refugee posted:Edit: Found a whole thing on tapering, http://www.hamsnetwork.org/taper/. Good luck dude. This is good listen to this and follow it

A few cool things to keep in mind 1. Being "good at drinking" actually sucks hard you don't get to have as much fun as other people, it's expensive, and it quickly becomes miserable boring and causes health problems 2. Even if you're having trouble tapering off or cutting off completely you can at least cut back to drinking only on the weekends or something. Go with one or two nights a week without any alcohol and eventually work your way back down to a sensible schedule. This, again, will require willpower and committment

I keep myself at about 10 beers. I seem to find willpower on beer 10. I can keep drinking until it's all gone when I'm in the mood. An 18 pack or a whole bottle has not been out of the question before I realized where I was headed. I figured out that I was going the wrong way when I started waking up after 10 or more and feeling fine. I know in the grand scheme of goon alcoholism, I''m not near touching bottom.

We got at this in a thread in TGD - Seems a better place to have your thread as well. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3765731 IMO, you're not too deep in. I doubt you'd have much trouble with a managed taper over a week. I'm still struggling, and the health effects are mounting. Be careful.

Lol. When I stopped drinking I had a series of massive seizures that led to 3 weeks in a comatose state, because I had been drinking a liter of vodka a day. Go call your momma about your 6-8 beers a day. Actually, just taper like everyone else said. Detoxing on your own is miserable as hell, probably the worst feeling I've ever had. If I had I could have saved myself a hell of a hospital stay. Benzos do help like you wouldn't believe, although it sounds like you consider yourself an alcoholic so be careful popping pills. Best of luck! ps: trust me on this: after a while being sober stops being so drat boring. Pot helps.
