Can I stop drinking cold turkey after 2 months of heavy drinking or should I taper?

Looking for some advice / personal experiences. I’ve been drinking pretty heavily for the last 2 months, almost every day. Most days it’s around 2–3 drinks, sometimes up to 5. Usually scotch on the rocks. Sometimes it’s social, sometimes it’s just to relax or help me fall asleep.

I want to stop drinking altogether for a while but I’m not sure if quitting cold turkey is safe or if I should taper. I don’t wake up shaking or anything but I do notice anxiety and trouble sleeping when I don’t drink.

For those who’ve been in a similar spot:

Did you quit cold turkey or taper? What withdrawal symptoms (if any) did you have?

What helped you get through the first week?

Not looking for medical advice, just real experiences. Thanks in advance.
