There should be a way to consume alcohol by bypassing the stomach. Maybe inject it through an IV.

Find another vice to get a buzz from.

Not only did I know it about you, I know it already about the rest of the posters here.

...but I liked the occasional 12-pack or two of beer everyday...

Mmm, beer

...but because of extreme health issues I have had to go on the ****ing wagon which sucks. I am experiencing the withdrawals really bad . I am like a bear with a sore head. I am ****ing craving something real bad. Its been 2 or 3 weeks now without a drink.

Should I do what??? Any one got some suggestions short of me hanging myself.

Oooh, sorry to hear that. Well if it's extreme and you can't drink, then you can't drink, simple as that. Everyone has to dry out at some point or fourteen in their lives. Ease up, get well, return in moderation.

I'm still off the beer though.

Go to an AA meeting

Have a problem with alcohol? There is a solution. A.A. has a simple program that works. It’s based on one alcoholic helping another.

fuk it

Try this with a little beer and see if it works. Eat bread with a few sips of beer and see if you have an attack. If not...increase beer consumption gradually

This would be my advice. Seeing a doctor about withdrawl is something you should consider. It should get easier as time goes by.

I'm sure you've spoken to a doctor therefore, I won't recommend the purple pill that cured my reflux, Prilosac. As far as your drinking is concerned. Look at your SBR handle and why you chose that name of all the names you could have chosen. I have a very dear friend who is a recovering alchoholic and have known more than my fair share. Remember, one beer is too many, one thousand are never enough. It gets easier. If you do happen to fall, dont start over, just get back up and continue. Honest to God I'm glad this addiction never afflicted me but I know what a struggle it can be. Remember, you're Dad. And dad's do what's right for their children.

Mountain Dew

I fell your pain.. Been to the doc alot recently myself.. Said i have numorous ulcers in my stomach.. Told me i can't have a drop of alcohol,(and a list of my other favorite things) or they would have to remove a third of my stomach.. Somedays it gets really tough for me cause i'm a bartender, and HAVE to be around it.. But i just tell myself i have strong enough will power to say no.. Hang in there bud, it'll get easier.. And like Willie Bee said, get better and have moderation.. 1 or 2, not a twelve pack or two.. Hope your GR is getting better friend..
