right now I have decided to go to a AA support group for all women, I went today, but found out it's on tuesdays...  so next week...  I don't know how to cut back, I need to abstain for a few more days, weeks, as long as possible.  I made a doctor apt for tomorrow to discuss the intestinal issues.

Hi snaphu,
 
Welcome to the AHC!  It's a great place to start in order to find the support and resources you need to help you achieve your health goals.  You have 3 excellent reasons to want to cut back or completely remove alcohol from your life!  You will be an inspiration to your kids and grandchildren - you already are by seeking help and finding us online.  
Post with us often to let us know how you're doing and go through the website to learn more about how to prepare yourself for those urges to drink and how to avoid temptations.
How do you plan on cutting back?

I have been drinking quite heavy for almost 40 years...  mostly beer and occasionally wine.  I think I'm creating some intestinal problems by the excessive amounts for such a long time.  In the last year and a half I've had 3 episodes of severe stomach flu... each time the symptoms don't entirely go away.  

anyways, I'm a grandmother of a 7yr  old girl, 3 yr. old boy and another one will be born in May 2012...  I want to enjoy them and be more apart of their lives...  

I went to detox Aug. 2010 for 10 days, and it helped, but I need to go to a 60-90 day treatment place... BUT, I can't because I'm unable to leave because I own a dog and chickens...  

I'm hoping that I can find support in this Alcohol Help Center online, so I can quit without going to residential treatment.  

thanks :)
Sue
