Question by (:: Young alcoholic, could I be?
Hey Yahoo. Well, i’ve been pretty stressed out for a while and a couple of months ago I just started taking it out on alcohol as an alternative on taking it out on myself. Instead of cutting or turning back to Anorexia or Bulimia for comfort from emotional pain. I find it easier and quite harmless and helpful if its not too much. But every time I get stressed out, I just go and drink more. Its more of a ‘I feel alone’ stressed. My friends moved away. One of them ran away, and her mom disapproves of anyone and everything now.. And I can’t see her. The only person that I know will always have my back and heart is my boyfriend. He’s the only person i’ve come to fully trust.Im starting to become more and more fond of a best friend of that friend that ran away. She’s very awesome and amazing and I would consider her my best friend.Lately it seems as if my boyfriend doesn’t care. Sometimes he barely talks to me if he does at all. He’s my life right now, and I dont know what I would do wtihout him. And to keep myself from breaking up with him because I find I make bad decisions when I act impulsivley, I drink. Just drink the stress away. It works. I got drunk two days ago, and since then i’ve said that I wouldnt drink anymore because I don;t think im responsible enough. And I find myself wanting it more and more every second, like im craving it even though yesterday I wanted to vomit and never drink it again. Am I just a hormonal wreck, hah?
Thanks in advance, Sorry for the long story.

I have been through this. I was a heavy drinker and made my boyfriend my life because I was depressed and lonely. Just push yourself not to drink. I was not able to stop until I got pregnant and HAD to stop. It was the best thing that ever happened to me because now I can control my alcohol again. TRUST ME when I say that you will end up doing a lot of things that you will regret if you keep turning to alcohol. You are not yet physically addicted so you can quit without medical help, but you are on the road to being an alcoholic. If you find that you can not stop, then look to rehab, a counselor, or even online counselors. There are lots of people who are professionally taring to help with alcohol problems, so do not be afraid to go to them for help.
Ive been doing the same thing for a couple years hunny… it ruins relationships and kills all that is good for you and just leads to more poor decisions.
Talk to your boyfriend, call your friend who ran away, and do whats best for you by finding a better outlet for your stress… drinkin away your problems doesnt solve anything except leave you feeling like shit and in a worse state than you were the night before. Dont let booze drive itself between you and the ones you love….
Once you let the bottle take over its not only literally blurry, but it blurs the line between what feels good and whats right for you
ok this is my opinion…… and this goes for anything in life, i think people should do what ever that make them happy unless it hurts themselves or someone else very deeply or physically. But if somthing starts to control u example drugs or food or gambling etc and u become addicted. then its time to give it up or have more discipline. Drinking is not that bad as i see it… but if u use it to escape your problems and daily life then that just terrible. You have to understand that everyone has problems…. and most have a tougher and worse life then u. I no its hard but try and understand how great u have it. Understand that life is the greatest gift of all and it is over in a blink of an eye…. so dont take things for granted…. go the distance and find happiness because it can be found by all
just drink its not that bad.
You might be Irish.
Seriously though. Well my friend let me tell you. When my first fiance left me for her ex boyfriend…and ex girlfirend, I drank when i woke up, and drank before I went to sleep. For oh 6 months. That started it. Whenever depression, anxiety or stress hits, I drink. I crave it sometimes, sure, but I can also control it. Most of the time. You need a fellow “alcoholic” to chat with and help, email me. Ive been there. Often.
