Hi
I have decided to cut down on my drinking and then hopefully stop it altogether, how long does it take to feel better with just the weaning off it?

Hello,

I've severely decreased my alcohol take over the past two months - I used to have some wine every other night, and there was no doubt it was increasing my anxiety and affecting my medication (I take prozac, diazepam and zoplicone for insomnia.) I stopped drinking for 3 weeks and felt so, so much better - I'd definitely recommend a period of total abstinence. Now I have some perhaps on the weekend, and a glass of wine or two in the week - no binging. Give it a few weeks and I bet you feel so much better, less anxious and more positive. Janey
