Go to the health pages link at the top of the page.  On the first page is a really good one titled "Changing addictive behaviors and how to taper".  It looks like some pretty good advice to me?  Good luck to you.

I feel for you and I am glad you called the doctor and told on yourself. You have made the right choice for you and your family. God Bless You! You can do this and tape the trap shut so you don't take it out on the wife.
