I think Im alcoholic

I think I am alcoholic. I don't eat much. I can't go a day without drinking. I don't have time for inpatient, or AA (been there, could give a ****). How can I stop? I hate the pangs of constant chest pounding when I try and stop. I can't take it. I don't know what to do.

Answer:

Yes, I'd say you're an alcoholic (no big deal, so am I, except I haven't had a drink in over 8 years). For myself, I definitely needed help to quit. I couldn't go a day without drinking, either, and my life . . . well, it was a lot like yours, I bet. It pretty much sucked.

Anyway I didn't think I had the time to devote to getting sober, either, but then it occurred to me that I had plenty of time to drink, so who was I kidding? And there was no way I was going to be able to do it on my own, because if I could have, I would have already done it. So, I went to rehab. Outpatient. And . . . yes . . . AA. I hated it at first but you know what, I liked it a whole lot better after a few months of sobriety and not waking up with my head pounding or those damned thumping heartbeats you mentioned. So now it's been a while and I'm happy and healthy and have friends and . . . well, I guess my advice is to take the time you now spend drinking, devote it to sobriety, and see what happens.


decide now that your going to beat booze .Then see it as the fight of your life and fight with everything you got, try to taper off gradually or make time for rehab this is your life we are talking about!Find something else you like to do and get excited about it.Drinking gets boring after a while.surround your self with wholesome people or at least people who dont party much and start trying to be accountable to your freinds.It could be as simple as what would so and so think pf they knew you were drunk for four days straight.surely you care a little what others think of you?If you dont well all I can say is sincerly best wishes and I will pray for you tonight.
