Question by This girl: Confession: I am an alcoholic, I have been very good at hiding it, how do I assure them, that I need help?
I drink as much as I can, I am a young mother, my children our young, I have found a treatment facility that includes your children in your recovery, but since I have been AMAZING at hiding my alcoholism, all of my family and friends keep telling me that I could probably stop with “outpatients” or “you do not need to stop drinking entirely, you are fun to drink with”, the catch 22 is these are the same people who tell me, when I am openly drunk around them, that I “shouldnt drink so much” or
“you cant handle your alcohol” or you are a “mean drunk”, I know what they say is true, but the thing is, I CANNOT STOP DRINKING! even when I try, I cannot, I feel that. for my children, I should get help, and not to feel ashamed, since in the long run, they are going to be much happier, but I have everyone around me, in a sense, criticizing me for wanting to get this help! I am confused, I know I do not tell them all, but I still feel that they should see I am asking for help, and embrace it, ??

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)
