Tapering journey update

I just wanted to post an update on my tapering journey, after experiencing physical withdrawals pike shaking, sweating, insomnia, severe anxiety, panic attacks which came from 3 months of heavily daily drinking non stop I have made good progress.

I started to taper down a couple of weeks ago, slowly reducing my intake and swapping out hugh strength ciders 8.5% to lower strength 5% lagers, I had my last can on monday evening.

Due to the taper the only withdrawals I have experienced is anxiety over the last 2 days which has come and gone with some slight intrusive thoughts, though not nice I would prefer that than the other withdrawals.

Anyway I am on day 3 now and my anxiety has gone, I feel like I'm coming back into myself, I'm feeling proud of myself but know the real journey starts now, staying off alcohol, I had a meeting with an alcohol service today and have been given some groups to check out, fingers crossed this is the turning point, I know I can't go back to drinking and I know my heart doesn't want to.

Hope all are well that are going through this or that have gone through this.
