anyway, I believe that, just by the fact that you are asking HOW to wean off alcohol, you may benefit from something like AA or even something more informal like the counseling provided by therapists who cater to DUI prevention (a more informal group therapy,--not AA) Sometimes hearing others experiences is all you need... just a thought...
