4. That's the best idea.

Sounds like you really need to see a doctor. I used to drink to alleviate pain, probably what got me started. I was eventually put on pain meds so stopped drinking and didn't pick up again until after the surgery that cured what ailed me. That was one big mistake. A drink isn't what you need right now and any relief will be fleeting, let alone the consequences you'll face afterwards. We alcoholics can drink, but we can't stop, and that's the problem. Hang in there and see your doctor. And please let us know how you are. I've been there, iris, and I care...
