Hi,
My wife, who has had severe alcohol problems for the last year has decided to go to treatment. They will take her in on Wednesday. Today is Sunday. I want to cut her off completely from alcohol because she goes into a stupor when she drinks. Is it safe for me to do this for a few days until I can get her to treatment.

No, it's not safe -- a severely addicted alcoholic should be under medication before stopping completely like that. I know this answer is a bit late but may help others with the same question.
