A member asked:
I was drinking 19 uk units of alcohol daily, i want off it so i've been cutting down and now at 10 uk units daily, every evening. is it ok doing it this way? cutting down each week to nothing. cold turkey doesn't work i just cave in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Now try to cut down to 5 UK units than 2.5 units and then no alcohol. Drink club soda, or juices, if you have any thoughts of going back, or do drink a little, than seek out the nearest AA group for treatment. I know many people joined AA and have been successful in stopping their drinking.
