My Alcoholism

   Go to meetings!

   That's bad, girl. Very bad. I drank 30 ml at your age. whiskey and that's it. I'm almost 20 years old and I've been an alcoholic for 6-7 years. It is very wrong to think that in alcohol you can find solace in your problems. This is a great delusion. The consolation is momentary. Otherwise, in principle, everything is the same, the problems sit as such, just out of your head for a moment, because your brain is clouded by intoxication. The euphoria you are experiencing is very false. You may feel great, but you don't look that way to others. You think you're the center of attention, but you're not, you think you're a superhero, but you're not. Just another drunk, who with his stupid whining annoys others. Run away from alcohol. You will lose your life. I am still struggling with alcohol dependence, but I have achieved little success compared to everything else. A, when I read that I drink 2x2 liters of beer, alone at home, it makes my hair stand on end. These are 8 beers, which is not a small amount. Not that I don't drink as much as I do. Addiction is a very scary thing. There is no escape. You start eating like rotten fruit. First you neglect yourself, then you live to drink, and finally you drink to live. I write all this to you from my own experience. Don't be fooled that it's very, very difficult after that. What would I not give so I can stop drinking, but I can not. This is alcoholism, and don't think that when you drink you look cooler, more communicative, more attractive, etc. The opposite is true. Impose your own will, do something extraneous.

   17-year-old girl are you already an alcoholic? This addiction can be stopped by nothing but a solitary will. You're wasting your life and you're still very young. It is a shame for a girl to be addicted to alcohol. If you continue like this, neither a boy will look at you, nor anything good will follow.

   From the author to number 2: I'm not proud of myself, on the contrary. I am aware of all the things I have written, I know I am ruining my life, but I have no motivation to change it.

   I am a young woman with a healthy and cheerful child. Circumstances, the past, the genes, the environment and do I know what else took me on this path - I drink and I like, it calms, liberates ... I am angry, I do not want to, but it is difficult to get rid of! Holidays, Occasions, Friends and His Majesty Alcohol is always on the table! The only way to stop is not to start. You still have a chance. Success!

   Hello, a recovering alcoholic is writing to you. Alcoholics Anonymous helped me personally, search the net for information about local gatherings. To stop, you have to really want it. I drank 600ml of hard alcohol every day plus a few beers. I haven't licked alcohol for 9 months, and there hasn't been a day without drinking. I tried doctors, fortune tellers, fairy tales, nothing helped. For the alcoholic, the first glass is the problem because he has no control. It is a disease that is deadly. And there comes a time when you start drinking to live. The fight is difficult but worth the effort.

   And I think I'm addicted to alcohol, and that sounds awful I don't even want to say it out loud ... I'm fine ... I've had a job .. a friend for a long time .. I live well, but still something doesn't suit me reach!! When I drink alcohol I feel very well somehow happier ... but with that I come the problems .... I start doing a lot of nonsense which I then sincerely regret ... I hurt the people I love ... And the worst thing is that I can't imagine life without alcohol !!! Is there a way to stop it?

   To all: Distinguish between an alcoholic and a drunkard. The drunkard drinks only on occasion, the alcoholic drinks without one. Even those who drink 100 ml. brandy every night with a salad, and they are alcoholics. They don't realize it, but they are. This is a very serious mental illness. The Bulgarian is a mass alcoholic, which is not pride. It's scarier than drugs. No one can help you if you are an alcoholic, except yourself. His will is his mother. I will give you an easy solution - when you finish drinking alcohol, make yourself a tea and drink it slowly. Or, if you are at home, go outside and breathe some air. It will become a habit and in time you will stop thinking about alcohol. But don't make the mistake that nothing will happen to you from a glass or a beer. There are no such things. You will start again at 1-2-3-4-5, etc.

   From the author: Hello, I am writing you good news. I haven't drunk for a month, which, as funny as it sounds, is a source of pride for me. So before I stopped, I was admitted to the hospital because of a health problem, and then I said to myself that I had to change. But I don't know how long my will will last, because my friends often drink, even at home there is always beer. I was thinking of a psychologist, but I don't think it will help me. Psychiatrist even more ...

   Hello! It's too, too early to run vertically in a "free fall" state! There are people who can drink "normally", there are those who can't and are extremely prone to addiction. If / when you feel that you are one of the second, the paths are two - stop forever, or .... fast and painful movement to the end .. There is no middle position or half-things ... What for others can be accepted for stimulant and relaxant, it is poison for you, and the younger you are, the faster the transformation occurs. It's easy to give advice from the outside, but - change, find something that is interesting to you, so you don't think and "rely" on alcohol! In years to come, looking back, you will be proud of yourself, and in the other case, there will simply be no "years from now" ....

   From the author: I definitely think I'm one of the latter. A week ago I went to visit a relative in an addiction clinic. 50% of the people there were under 25 years old and I was terrified that I could find myself in a similar place. But I have periods when I get depressed and I'm afraid that at such a moment I will reach for drinking again. And for me, just one sip is enough to make it a habit. Now I try to go out more, to do something so that I don't think about the things that burden me. And before the meaning of my day was to get drunk. And that was daily.

   You have already taken the first step, namely, to admit the situation to yourself ... do not go back, because you will waste this first step, which, by the way, quite a few people in this situation reach ...

   replace alcohol with some group sport. Gradually, chatting and working with sports people will affect you as well. An acquaintance of mine replaced alcohol with rock climbing and is now a maniac on the subject, he has a group of friends with whom he travels the mountains. It worked well for him.

   and I have a similar problem, only with the difference that drinking makes me feel even more depressed, I am 27 years old and I drink from 18-19 years old. There have been cases when I have stopped drinking for about 4-5 weeks and then I start with systemic abuse again. The stress that I have accumulated in my opinion is one of the reasons. Since I have the ambition to work in my specialty to be a teacher, I am already taking measures this week, I start regular consultations with a psychologist. I hope to get rid of this habit soon, when I don't drink I feel better. This makes me think that my addiction is psychological, but I have not experienced withdrawal symptoms, but I realize that if I do not stop in the end, this can happen and then giving up is much harder. The other thing that worries me is that when I haven't drunk for a long time I relax and think, that I can afford a little, but in 90% of the cases when I sit down to drink I abuse and I can't control it. My advice is to consult a specialist, because it is very difficult for me, at least it didn't work out, I hope it happens now.

   Hello 17 year old girl. I don't know you, but I'll write you what I think about your problem. I'm big and I'm an alcoholic. I started to overdo it with alcohol early and looked for self-confidence and a solution in it. You become addicted without realizing it, but you can find out if we are already addicted when nothing but drinking can make you happy or impress you. When you wake up and look for your first drink, then you have a problem. If you continue like this, terrible things await you. I'm serious because I've been this way. The choice is yours. I gave up alcohol on my own, but it's a terribly long battle and not everyone can stand it. Try and you - I hope you succeed. If you don't do it, it will be very, very bad for you. I repeat - I speak from personal experience. I came out of this swamp. And I wish you success - only you can do it. Hold on, kid !!!

   .... Even those who drink 100 ml. brandy every night with a salad, and they are alcoholics ..... №8 do not talk nonsense! This is a normal consumption of alcohol and is good for the cardiovascular system, see if you drink 300-400 ml. alcohol every night - this is already harmful. The Bulgarian is not an alcoholic, but rather a drunkard, he likes to overdo it, but not every night. I drink seriously once a week, meeting with my brother or other friends, for 5-6 hours and very often until dawn, I drink no more than 500 - 600 ml. brandy, with many appetizers and salads. I don't feel drunk, I have a hangover, there is no fire without smoke. And the next day I fuck a lot, I usually watch porn and in the evening I fuck my wife nicely! Drink from 7th grade, then less, then in high school at parties, and at the institute not to mention - heavy drinking, medics are big drunks in general! Then a military doctor - you can't be a worthy officer there, that is, keep drinking! Well now I give it much more gently. I am already approaching 50. Bulgarians are in a much better condition in terms of alcohol than Westerners and Russians - they are pigs in general and drink not for pleasure, but for the sake of pork, to shit! But you boy, as you drove it, you are already shaping up as an alcoholic - you have an addiction like a drug addict and if you don't stop drinking, because not everyone is a drinker, but to break completely and not lick, I see you in 10-20 years as a degraded alcoholic with a bunch of chronic diseases rushing to the grave without time!
