I'm slipping into alcoholism, I can feel it. It has been lingering for a long time, and although I don't show any classical severe dependency symptomps (intefering with work, neglecting duties due to addiction, withdrawal symptoms) yet, I am drinking more than half of weekdays. Maybe not so much that I can't do what I want to do, but when I get home I drink a little "to get the edge off", even before I make dinner. Then I have one or two more because it's comfortable, and then I go to bed.
How to deal with?
I was getting drunk at 1pm on a work day when I looked for a solution. Going completely dry didn't work, nor did weening. I eventually tried microdosing 4-FA with 15mg a day and found I had absolutely no desire to drink. I was able to leave my liquor cabinet in-tact and untouched for weeks as I spaced out the small doses.
Eventually I was at about 9 weeks sober when I had my first drink and stopped at 2. Since then I'm at a few drinks each month with friends, no problems with an urge to drink or drinking excessively. I can go completely without or stop at just a few.

thanks, do you continue to take the medication? or do you just have a grip on it now?
