How Do I Taper Off Wine (Specifically)? Please Help?
Question by 0806: how do i taper off wine (specifically)? please help?
For the last couple of months I have had 1-2 glasses of wine every night. Since I’m taking meds for depression and I’ve noticed my depression increase I want to stop drinking wine. But I’m not taking a chance with cold turkey, I do not want to be in serious danger. I’m scared of withdrawal symptoms, I’m reading online nightmares about it.
One article says to taper off, but by using beer as the beverage to taper off (then again it was an article on “alcoholism”, it didn’t say it was talking about only wine drinking). I’ve only really been drinking wine, and for a couple of months (but daily). Before that, maybe about a year, I was having about two beers on the weekend (just one of the weekend days). (now I hate beer and do not drink it ever since I started the wine drinking a couple of months ago)
My question is: how do i taper off my daily wine drinking and can I use wine as the “taporing off” alcohol (or do I need to use beer, etc). And how long should the taporing off process be? I am going to seek medical advice but I’d like to have something to go on before my appointment.
(btw–I am receiving professional help)

yer pro should had already told you if your only drinking minimal just stopping is no problem
tapering is told to hard core fuks,,, we drink all the time and at least 8-15 drinks a day
just stop, there is no problem in your drinking
it’ll help your meds take hold too if you just stop
PS i would second guess my shrink if i was you,,,what i just told you is like 1st day stuff for people that are suppoused to know
