I'm in your same boat. Drinking vodka and digestive illness. My gut tells me (No pun intended) that you should stop asap. But it won't work unless you are really ready. Unless you are sick of being sick. Either way I'll be here and the rest of the forum will be here for you. Whatever your choice.
I've been part of this forum, watching, lurking, learning since 2012. I'm finally ready. You can be too! Take care
