Urgent advise needed

So I have come to realise I am drinking far far too much.
For the last few weeks have been drink beers and bottle of wine a nightBlush.
I really really want to stop.
Should I just stop completely or cut down slowly?
Not sure as to the best way to do it.
Advice please as I want to start today.

No experience or advice so bumping for you.

Thank you Purple
I'm just scared I will be sick if I stop completely.
Maybe just go for it and see?

I have no experience of this I'm afraid but have heard that stopping completely can be dangerous. Is the a drug/alcohol advice service you could Contact locally. if you don't want to go to your gp?

Unfortunately I have experience - do NOT just stop. You need to cut down slowly. I am not a doctor, and you will need support to do this, so I think speaking to your GP is a good second step. The first step being your post on here. Good luck OP, but please do not just stop dead - I can't reiterate that enough
