It is possible to wean off of Ambien — and the process would probably start by discussing your desire to move away from medication with your doctor.
You might also find these podcast episodes helpful since they involve people who moved away from Ambien in particular:
How Jim stopped chasing after sleep and put over 10 years of insomnia behind him (#42)
How Jessica transformed her relationship with sleep by challenging her sleep-related thoughts and changing her sleep-related behaviors (#22)
How Eileen used CBT-I techniques to improve her sleep after taking sleeping pills almost every day for 15 years (#11)
I hope this helps!
