Answer 1

I am a recovering alcoholic so I am pretty qualified to help you with this problem.First of all no one but you can decide if you are an alcoholic.I would suggest that you go to an A.A. meeting in your area and talk to someone there.You are young enough that if you get help now you won't have to go through what so many of us have.Go to alcoholicsanonymous.com to read more about alcoholism,find a meeting in your area,and to take a small quiz that might help you to decide for yourself if you are in fact an alcoholic.Please don't give up.If you are asking this question,you probably already know the answer.Get some help..There is life after alcohol..I promise.

Answer 2

I'm an alcoholic myself and I would say you are one. Please get some help before it's too late. I ended up in prison due to my problem, I almost lost my kids, basically I hit rock bottom. I started out like you, so I know the signs. I haven't had a drink in about 6 years now and it's the best thing that ever happened. You're only 21, don't let alcohol rule you, own you, or ruin your life. There's a whole world out there.

Answer 3

I dont think you are an alcholic, you are a binge drinker.... I had a similar problem - I could never say no to another and another drink until I was literally legless... I was depressed at the time and I would think that drinking made things better - it actually makes you feel even more depressed, I had some counselling and I am much better now - I still have to watch how much I drink, but I have learnt to control it much better. I hope you can try and be strong - good luck

Answer 4

From an alcoholic - YES, you are, and you know you are an alcoholic. It is no good saying, you will cut down, you have to make the decision that you will never drink alcohol again in your life. It is hard, and sometimes you will fall, but you must do it or you will be dead by the time you reach 40, broke, no family and living in squalor. Good luck from another alcoholic who did not drink yesterday, today and hopefully tomorrow (nor for the past 26 years - Good luck and God Bless).........

Answer 5

Obviously you have a problem. Drinking is only covering it up temporarily. Anyone who drinks that much is usually trying to numb some kind of pain that has been unbearable. Deal with that and your drinking will probably stop. If nothing else works, try praying. God still hears and answers the cry of the helpless.

Answer 6

If you haven't got the will power to only have a couple of drinks then don't have any at all, my rule of thumb is after a night out if you cant remember how many drinks you have had in a night then you have a drink problem.

Answer 7

You might be. I'm not really sure about this because I'm only 14. But if this does happen to you DONT DRINK. If you're around your friends and there drinking beer drink something else like a coke or water.

Answer 9

the question you need to be asking are do you need a drink when you first wake? do you need drink to get you through the day? do you sleep,wake.live for drink? fullstop? if yes then you are an alcoholic if no ??? then your just someone who loves drink and maybe should consider cutting down if one leads to too many then dont have the one full stop!

Answer 10
