Don't drink or use. Go to meetings. Get a sponsor. Work the steps - they work if you work them.
That may sound simple, but that's the heart of getting and staying sober. Right now, don't focus too much on why you drink or use. Focus instead on not taking that drink today. You might consider looking at "triggers" or situations when you're tempted to drink. They may include people, places, circumstances or moods. Stay away from those things. Really, if you're serious, stay away.
If you're really a serious drinker (like I was), right now your brain is too foggy to be able to think rationally. You won't be able to clearly examine all of the factors involved in your drinking. Maybe you'll never know "the reason." Maybe there's more than one reason. Whatever the case, working the steps in order will help you identify some of your destructive behaviors and their underlying causes in your life that could be changed for the better.
I've been sober for seven years and, while I can't identify the specific reason I drank (good family, loving parents), I've been able to identify and work on certain things in my life that have made all the difference.
Blessings

Hi there, sorry to hear about your problem.
Alcohol is a bigger problem than what people realise. My dad was an alcoholic, he died last november from multiple organ failure, he was only 48. The worst bit was he had given up completely for the last three months before but it was too late. There doesnt always have to be a reason why someone drinks, alcohol is addictive. Like fags, is there a innner deep reason why someone smokes, no there isn't, its because its addictive.
Why is it any different for booze, there all a drug.
Try and get help, the best person to help you is your doctor. He will be able to arrange pyschiatrist and in touch with support groups. You are not alone, there are many men and women out there who have problems with alcohol.
A friend of mines mom was an alcoholic, things got that bad she commited suicide last christmas eve.
I am just trying to make you realise that alcohol isn't the way forward, try and just cut down and get the help that you need.
Admit to people and explain why you do things. The worst thing is making promises, my dad made loads he would quit and he broke them which really looses trust. Try your best and get the help and support you need.
Don't go down the same path my dad did, such a waste.
Good luck for the future,
G

That seems like quite a problem. How old are you? Maybe you should avoid anything that makes you want to drink, or allows you the opportunity to do so. Maybe its your friends...if you know they will be drinking, just distance yourself from that temptation. If you frequent the liquor stores, save your money for other things, or take a different route. I wouldn't say that you have no problems if i were you. Maybe there is some underlying reason for your alcoholism that really requires a professional's help. I recommend that you seek psychiatric help immediately, for the sake of you and your family.

Hai friend ! Greetings,u have a good family,Friends & All.Then why are u drinking? What is the problem? any love affair. If you are in the love tell ur parents about ur situation. They will understand ur problem and will solve.
If you continue ur drinking habits without any problem better contact the Psychiatrist.

You choose to be an alcoholic. You will need to choose not to be one. I don't understand why you state that you "have no problems"
What happens if you do not have a drink?
Do you go through withdrawal? If you do, you will probably need medical help to withdraw. If not, you should choose to drink something else - like water (and lactulose, and thiamine)

So you enjoy a drink it's all in moderation, you don't have to give up just cut back. Make other things to focus your time on.

Seek professional help before things really get out of hand.
