Answers:
alright girl. first off, dont worry. you are going to overcome this! alcholism is a serious problem, but there are some serious solutions. first...know that your not alone. lots of women have the same problem. second, know that there is help. you have acess to the internet, and there are some very helpful hotlines and links. just google them. third, figure out why you drink. (ie. to escape, to relax, when youre angry) and make it a point to avoid being around the things that will trigger your mind to drink. last but not least, stay around happy people, and peopl with positive attiutudes that are going to help you stay clear of alchahol. it isnt going to be easy, but you've already made it to step one. you have admited you have a problem, and you know you want to change. just doing that is amamzing! you are braver than you know just for taking the first step. please email me if you ever need anything, or just want to talk. you are love, lexi
um, well, i'm only 14 but my mom went to AA meetings and it helped her to quit, maybe that would help you too - hope i helped :)
You need a therapist and/or AA. You are going to have to take it one day at a time.
if u have a serious addiction then it means that u need a detox. some alcoholics start to shake/convulse even seizure if they are going through withdrawls so detox helps this part. AA is good for support. sign up and get a sponsor! YOU CAN DO THIS IT IS A DISEASE AND THERE IS A CURE> find something to live for.
You could talk with me about it, if you like. I have a bit of experience with addiction, both through study and a bit through experience. Though, you'll have to know this first, nobody ca cure you. They cn help, and encourage you, but only you can make it so.
You absolutely cannot find lasting help from strangers online...you have to find lasting help from within your own self. Confide in a close friend or family member and get them to hold you accountable to go to AA, to counseling, or to Rehab.
It depends a lot on your age. If you are young, like under 18-16. tell someone older that you trust to help, without judging you. You must trust them. If you are an adult call A.A. they are listed in the phone book. They can give you everything you could need to quit drinking, one day at a time. It isn't about quitting forever, just for one day at a time. It works...I guarantee it. I did it. So can you.
Go to an AA meeting. They are great folks who know what you're going through. Let some of them know your intention to stop drinking, and they will help you.
I used to drink a LOT. Now I don't drink at all, and I feel SOOOO much better. I never thought that would be the case. But today I am grateful that I do not drink anymore - life is great again! My dreams and desires have come back to life!

me too either, I just traded one vice for another one, instead of doing meth, I drink now, must be a fix somewhere for all this to happen like this, but atleast now, I sleep, and I sleep alot.
If you know you have a problem the first thing in fixing it is realizing it. and you've done that, the next step is to decide whether or not you want to quit, when you say I can't, it actually means I won't.. so its up to you, No program or help services will ever help you unless you help yourself.

I'll pray for you. Also, read the Bible (New Testament) and pray. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and find a good church. I had an alcohol abuse problem years ago and the Lord took care of it IMMEDIATELY when I became a born-again believer. I also quit smoking the same day.
In my opinion, for what little it may be worth, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, and overeating are simply a means to self-medicate. Highly addictive in most cases because you are already vulnerable. Depression, anxiety, phobias, and just boredom can all lead to addictive behavior. In all cases, professional help, support from friends and family, and sometimes medication is needed. If you are really tough and really serious, you can kick any habit.
Remember it doesn't just affect you. You have a family to think about also.
Do you love alcohol more then you love your sanity,happiness? Also, Try this, every time you want to drink, fill your tummy with something, anything, water and food. I only drank to get drunk and always on an empty tummy. If I had to eat it took the desire away. Maybe this sounds to easy but try it anyway. Peace!
ok i know that i'm only 13 but someone in my family did this and it worked. ok on the 1st day, take away 1 drink that you would usually have. the 2nd day, take away 2, 3rd take away 3, etc. if you can't do it have someone help you. like your husband or whoever you live with. when you get down to 1 drink a day, just substitute your drink for like coke or pepsi. but DON'T get addicted to the coke or pepsi because that can be as bad as alcohol if you drink too much. after the coke or pepsi just start drinking water or something. also try to get some cranberry juice or something, because cranberry juice cleans out your body. i know it sounds weird but it will clean out all the alcohol that is still in your system. also, steer clear of places that might serve alcohol. get a stress ball or something so you can get rid of your stress w/out alcohol. and if you don't feel like going out and buying one, just fill a balloon up with flour and it does the same thing.
Drink a fifth of captain morgan.
That helped me say I'll never drink again.....I'll see you at the bar on friday.
No! but seriously you need to make huge! changes like quitting your job and moving type stuff you can only change when forced by circumstances. Mostly changing friends, they may be some of the best people on earth but you need to loose them for a few years becaused they are bad for you.
I wish I could help you.
But you would probably tell me to f.uck off and that I'm not your dad.
