^ Then you seek help, whether from a doctor, a psychologist, a self-help group, AA......come on, there's heaps you can do. It's just up to you if you actually want to do it.
 
I quit for 16 years. I was really out of control.

Now, I'm on it again. Unlike when I quit, I can function. But it's a big drag on my life. I do not have a drivers license. If circumstances require me to drive again, I'll have to put the bottle down again.

If you have any kind of compulsive tendency with it, it doesn't go away.

What do you all think about this?...

My dad's an alcoholic and so were 3 of his uncles. The rest of my family loves to drink but can control their consumption. Anyways, I got an underage and blew a .148 and my dad is practically convinced im an alcy. He and the magistrate agree its heavy drinking--alcoholic like. I won't deny it, I love partying and drinking a decent bit, but I hate getting to the point where your stumbling and have no coordination what so ever, and rarely that happens (but I have gone overboard). Also, I can hang out and just drink 1-3 beers and feel alright--I don't feel the urge to drink more and more like most alcoholics describe. I know its impossible to give any diagnosis, but what do you all think of my future. Am I bound to become and alcoholic? Are these serious signs of possible illness? I'm 17 btw. Thanks!

Any one have input on this?
 
^ Having alcoholism in your family is no guarantee that you'll be an alcoholic yourself. If you think that you might be developing a problem at this early stage, don't drink - and if that's not something you can do on your own, seek help.

It's practically mandatory for teenagers to drink themselves silly, so bowing to social pressures (as we all do at times) isn't something to be worried about. It's also perfectly natural for your parents to be concerned given their own problems with drinking. Parents care about their kids, and don't want them to make the same mistakes that they did. It doesn't mean you're an alcoholic.

And for god's sake don't let anyone (inlcuding yourself!) convince yourself that 'alcoholism is inevitable because it's in my genes'. That's a surefire way to get yourself into a lot of trouble, because it effectively absolves you of all responsibility. You do have a choice. You always will. :)

So, you're encouraging usdathashield to drink then, guineaPig?

Why do I waste my time here if people are going to go against the very-fucking-nature of the forum? Christ almighty. Y'know what? Don't even reply.
 
^dude, i have no fucking clue what im talking about anymore.

goddamn seroquel has seriously altered my thought process, and im runnin around in circles. im staying out of any forum where advice is needed.

reviewing my post, i think what i was saying is that someone who calls a heavy drinker a pussy and tells em to whine and cry about it, probably hasnt been there themselves.
i wasnt telling him to drink at all, and you seem to misinterperate my posts pretty regularly.

o, and also, you waste your time here because ur a mod, and thats your job. i love the choice of words tho. really inspiring.
 
You think I'm a troll, eh? Well here you are trolling me buddy.

I hit the nail on the head calling him a "coward" (not a "pussy"). I think that's his only excuse, since he seems young and fit with so many opportunities. So he has family problems- who didn't at that age?

Do a search of my posts. Read all my twice/month posts here. When I was an alcoholic, I needed someone to tell me I was being a coward and nothing else, but no one did, so my problem got worse, until I found inner strength.
 
yeah i didnt take any offense derg, an opinion is an opinion. ive got a serious question, i drink i think 1400mls of vodka in a little less than 48 hours i am not sure the time and i swear to god last nite i thought iwas going thru withdrawls...

if i closed my eyesi saw shit and my bed was soaked with not piss but cold sweats... was this is just bad trip? im really worried about my stomach as well. this spot in my stomach just below my bottom left rib bone is spasming... my left side of my stomach is sore to the touch...

^were you taking something else or just drinking? i've noticed that being totally trashed for a prolonged period of time causes me to get subtle visuals...so i feel ya there.
i would guess that any marks or bruises on your body probably came from a period of time that you dont remember. no clue on the spasming, but i've woken up w/all sorts of injuries and no clue where they came from. most likely, its just from loss of balance and you crashed into something and didnt realize it.
 
yeah thank yoy guuine pig for the replies. im glad to annoince tonite is my last time fdrinking. my stomach is seriously fucked up. i dont know whats wrong with ti maybe just to much booze but its not good i know that much. im going to drink this bottle of smirnoff and hope for a high and feel good agian but uno how my problem will work! its because

i will not go sober i will use marijuana (not great i know but at least it will help get my shit together in the short term and will help with sleeplessness and stuffs)
 
If you have been drinking in large amounts daily for a long time, I would suggest that nobody try to 'cold turkey' because it really can kill. At the very least something to stop seizures is required. Librium (chlorodiazepoxide) is the most common treatment, but I found clomethiazole to be much more effective. It's legel apart from, I think, Australia. It will also allow sleep.

Good luck & best wishes,
H-)

Because those who don't deserve to be helped at least offer some entertainment?

Good that you suggested he read what he writes when he's sober- another big factor helping me to give up drink was humiliation. Just the memory of some of things I did when sloshed makes me cringe.
 
Librium (chlorodiazepoxide) is the compound Diazepam was made from back in the 70s

Valium is prescribed in Australia for alcohol detox when there are severe withdrawal symptoms with not much trouble at all
 
i cant believe i was that fucking stupid.. i sniffed it like 10 fucking times!! what a fucking moron...

never been this guilty for my brain than i am now..
 
You didn't want to quit anyway; you wanted to drink yourself into a coma, just like a child and escape from your reality. Reality is always going to be there, and it will get worse and worse the more you drink.

True from what I see. I guess you're not ready for recovery? Please keep posting, but unless you're really ready to deal then you risk continuing to behave like a coward by stringing really generous and caring people along a narrative that wastes their wisdom.

What do you think about that?
 
Today I was totally not going to drink .. no reason to. It's Monday, I can take a day off, drank so much this weekend ...

But I get home, nothing to do. No more weed, no roomie around, no running [bad weather] ... only some more job apps to fill out, and I can do that with a buzz .. so another night it is!
Boredom, the silent + deadly killer ...

Tomorrow I'll be straight tho .. too much to do after work!
Besides, I won't make it to the store until Wednesday :p
