Hi Dali,

These are great questions to ask your doctor. You doctor may also be able to refer you to medical support which can help you with cutting back.
 
Let us know what you decide to do and what you find out.

If you have time and insurance, you may want to consider detoxification under medical care. Once detoxed, you may want to visit some of the local AA meetings around where you live. My life changed for good, when I walked into the rooms of AA 11 years ago.

HELP!
I feel my brain is bipolar.  One part is telling me I need to stop before someone gets hurt and the other is saying it is  ok you can handle this without help after all this is what you've been doing for over thirty years.  

I've taken the first step.  I told my doctors  that I have a problem.  How bad is it?  As far as i'm concern its bad.

My doctor said do not quit drinking "cold turkey".   So, I guess at this point I just cut back.  The question is how to cut back?  Do I stop drinking in the mornings? Do I stop during certain hours of the day? Do I stop drinking hard liquor?  
Need some feed back,
Dali
