I've seen some encouraging threads on this board about this topic, but i wanted to ask a more in depth question directed at the people who went from heavy binge drinking to Kava.
I want to reduce alcohol and or end alcohol consumption, the problem is alcohol seems to be the only substance that actually relaxes me. I tried Kava a few times in the past and it had a similar effect of being at peace. But for someone who drinks too much and wants to use Kava for relaxation instead, do i need to do a clean break? what happens if the Kava is just not strong enough to relax and i still end up drinking some beer at first? Have any of you been in that situation? Did you cold turkey the alcohol and go straight to Kava or was it a transition? I have read the two are never to be mixed and then i have read some people on the islands regularly have a beer or 2 after Kava.
Any help would be appreciated, i'd like to change life for the better, just did a phone call with an older family member who was embarrassingly drunk trying to give me investment advice (lol) and im sure i'll end up like that if i don't change.
