    trying to ween myself off

    I am trying to find a way to get off vodka. Dam Russians! It really is not funny because it
    has got my whole body in a vice grip. The shaking is the big problem. It feels like my body is running 90 miles per hour when I'm off the juice. I have been trying to ween myself off
    of it by taking only the bare minimim to stop the hell.

    trying to ween myself off

    Hi Zane. I see an addiction therapist and am doing so much better. Withdrawal scared me as well and vodka was my vice. She has real experience with addiction, so it's not just textbook advice. Her advice was to take just enough (and measure and monitor) to get by. Reducing the amount and frequency as you wean. Good luck!

        Zane,

        Greeneyes is speaking the truth about "measure and monitor."

        If you are serious about weaning, it is extremely important you never allow more than you had before and keep reducing the amount.

        This is a very difficult approach because you are fighting against the addiction, which once you drink says, "oh the heck with it, drink until you have your fill." Which, in my case, was once I ran out or passed out.

        I am not saying it is not doable, some of our members have done it successfully, I am just saying it is not necessarily an easier way. It will circumvent the serious complications of withdrawal if you can do it, though, without resorting to drugs to help you.

        Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!!
