Day two of tapering off

Well, the tapering is going well.  I have SIGNIFICANTLY dropped the amount of alcohol I drink.  I was drinking upwards of 25-30 ounces per day.  Yesterday I had only two ounces.  The reason why I think this will work is because I no longer let myself drink for pleasure.  I drink only when I have symptoms and just enough to make the symptoms stop.  I do standing up and quickly.  I do not let myself sit down on the couch and watch tv while drinking.  The first day when the shaking started, I just took sips until I felt it subside and then walked away to resume whatever activity I was doing before.  I was amazed at how little alcohol it took to keep the shakes and confusion at bay.  I am having trouble sleeping even with an over the counter sleeping pill.  Waking up clear and not hungover is awesome!!!  Today I took a nap because somehow I always sleep better during the day.  I feel much better.  I miss the activity of drinking.  I'm lost as to what to do with my evenings.  I need to get into a new groove.  Other then that, I am good and hope, hope, hope I can continue!
