Hi @Former-Member, @Makeitstop, @pan, @Matt12, @vic100, @Shaz51,
Hi guys, have been reading your posts about going off alcohol. I have decided to cut down, mainly for health reasons.......I have gone from 3 or more drinks a day, to 2 drinks a day, to 1 drink a day over a period of a few weeks. Now I am trying to have no drinks per day but I find I wake up at night and cant go back to sleep and feel a bit flat the next day. Anyone had any experiences like this?
Shaz51, you may be able to point me in the direction of some other relevant threads.
Thanks
Fee1

Thanks @Former-Member, actually I think the feeling flat the next day problem may be due to the medication I have been taking to help me get back to sleep when i wake in the middle of the night....S*******, though dont think this is a common side effect.
