Does this make me an alcholic?
Question:
Answers:
YES
almost certainly. try not having any. don't trust communist rehab programs. you must rely on yourself, you must rely on yourself, you must rely on yourself...
Wow you should talk to your parents, because you may have a problem. Be safe and don't drink, until your of age.
Yes. 100%. It will get much worse if you won't get help. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for you to recover and get your life back.
no it does not, however it appears that you have an underlying problem and you are self medicating.you should talk to your doctor before you beome reliant on it .
Baby you should not even be drinking but since you have started you need to speak with your parent and get help becuase in most cases drinking leads to weed, pills and much heavier drugs u need to get in a program that will help u.
Yes because if you find alchohol a way to let go of stress then. Try AAA meetings because this can turn into a really bad situation.
I am not saying that this makes you an alcoholic but this is not a good situation. Alot of times people who have a problem with drinking and aren't able to drink or don't have the means to drink and really want a drink and don't get it --- there moods will change and emotions get charged. I think there is for sure a problem here with alcohol. I think that you should really evaluate you like and see what makes you drink, and how you feel when you are drinking ( do you have blackouts where you can't even remember what you did when you are drinking)? There may be some under lying problems that you are trying to escape with the drinking. How do you feel after you drink like this? Do you feel like crap like you don't want to get out of bed and time is just passing you by? Try to deal with the underlying problem sit and think why are you drinking is it to suppress something, hide something, forget something in the long run you will only be hurting yourself you have to deal with the problem at hand and there are ways of doing that without drinking yourself away. Good luck and you are young and have a future that you need to look into securing.
hit up a school counselor and maybe some AA meetings . Im dealing with the alcohol prob and AA and therapy has been best for me. You have to ask someone for help.
I'd cut back a little if I were you. It's perfectly normal for a sixteen year old to drink, but three times a week is pushing it.
Being pissy and timid is very common for your age. Find other ways to get rid of those feelings without alcohol. You should drink to enjoy life, not to block it out.
Most alcoholics began drinking when they were underage. I believe it takes more than two years to develop a full blown addiction. Only time will tell if you are genetically predisposed to drinking or not. Best thing to do is quit cold turkey while you still can. If you don't one day you may be unable to quit on your own and will be involuntarily placed in a rehab center and I'm sure you wouldn't want that. This is only a guess but about ten years seems long enough to build a strong, thorough addiction to alcohol.
yes am sorry but yea am 16 to and i used to drink try and make ur self stop and do some research look what ur going to ur body.
I think another question to ask is: why does the alcohol help? Are you self-medicating another condition? Could you be depressed, inside? If you didn't drink, what would you FEEL, instead?
Any recovery program from alcoholism will also be addressing those issues, your real feelings & how you cope with daily stresses.
Sweet liquor eases the pain.
Yes, or it makes you, at the very least, someone with a drinking problem. If you recognize the effect it has on you when you don't drink, and then how good you feel when you do, that's a big step (whether you realized it or not). One of my sons was a lot like you..started drinking early in his teenage years..and finally got clean and sober two years ago, when he was 34. That's a lot of lost years in between...for him, his father and I, and most important, his wife and daughter... and I hope that it doesn't happen to you also. If you're asking this question, then you know you need help. I hope that you will seek it.for yourself and those who love you. Blessings.
It does sound like you're well on your way to becoming an alcoholic.
It's not unusual at your age to enjoy drinking and the buzz you get. Liquor definitely lowers your timidity and makes you more mellow (re: days that I dont drink alchol im timid and pissy).
I'm hoping you're asking so that if the answer is YES, you'll seek help.
Once you start on that road, every day, week, month, year, makes it harder to stop. Please stop now, when you're smart enuf to ask for help.
P.S. If you'd like to contact someone's that been there. Post here and I'll give you my contact info.
hmm well it sounds that way but maybe you could try anti depressants..the drinking will become a problem later in life.it will control you and make you do things that you would not normally do without it.do you miss ..not drinking??
please get help my dad is the same way and he tends to be verbally abusive..
It is not how much, how often or what particular type of alcohol we drink, but what happens when we drink that points to possible alcoholism. The fact that you even ask the question shows your awareness of a personality change with that first drink. Do you have a compulsion to keep drinking once you have had the first one? Have you ever lost control of the amount you drank? (believing you will only have one and then realizing you have had more than you planned) Every alcoholic I have ever heard tell his or her story says that they felt more at ease, powerful, happy, intelligent (fill in the blank) with the first drink. With time, that same person began to feel depressed, suicidal, out of control, hopeless, worthless (fill in the blank). There are self tests on the internet. Answering the questions honestly will give you the information you need. God bless you !
Well this is one of those questions where if you have to ask it, the answer is probably yes.
You are obviously dependent on alcahol (I can NEVER spell that right... can we just say "booze"?)
Ok so you are dependant on booze. There is often a strong genetic component to this. I have a good friend who's dad was hooked on booze... it totally tore up his family and his life and he won't ever and to my knowledge hasn't ever had a drink of any kind because he is aware that genetically he has a high chance of getting hooked on booze and he don't want to go there. Not a "fault" based thing, not a "stupidity" based thing... mostly a genetic thing... some people can handle booze, some people get handled by booze. Lawyers have the highest rate of any group of people... you would be amazed how many lawyers are secretly AA members.
Dr. Mutiny is what people tend to call an "idiot" or a "fool". You need help to deal with this or it will eat you alive, and everyone around you, and (with some bad luck) some innocent bystanders who just happen to be driving down the wrong street at the wrong time. You don't want to go there, and you don't want to drag other people in there with you.
Where you DO want to go is AA.
That being said, you probably wound't feel comforatable about the idea of AA at 16. If you are lucky you will wind up there eventually and stay sober and have a great life and help others do the same. Perhaps you will even become a counselor someday. That's all for later. Right now we have to deal with right now.
