Tonight , I was real sad..so I started to drink . Then I got drunk,not very very drunk..but drunk. I also did this on Monday when I was sad. But I'm scared and worried now,I dont want to be an alcoholic.. Is this one? Do I sound like an alocoholic to you? Does it mean being an alcoholic to drink to get drunk 2 times a week?.. Help me..please help me..If you 've been in my shoes before.. ='0(

Also, someone suggested dont drink alone.I cant do that. I have to drink alone,I dont have any friends..Not one close one,not one drinking buddy.Nothing. I'm going through some very complicated circumstances involving love..it's very very very painful to me.
Tonight,I drank vodka,while talking to him on the phone. I then went for a walk..
I saw a police car,and got scared,,I dont wanna be noticed,since I'm not 21 yet..(almost).. I'm still drunk now,waiting for it to go away.
I dont choose to not have friends,it kind of happened this way. That also makes me sad sometimes..and just things about my life that are sad.
Dont dare anybody say its easy to make friends.. F*uck that. it's not easy..
Dont tell me to join a book club or some crap like that. Thats heartless things to say,and not really thinking about it..
I mean,if you want to tell me something,then just sympathize with me..A little compassion?Try to help me..not say something that I heard a hundred times.

No, not at all. Your just going through a phase and the important thing is, you know that when your sad you feel like drinking, we all do! The trick is not to get drunk and to do something else, otherwise it could lead to being an alcoholic, in which case you would probably drink when feeling ok too! Hope this has helped- chin up! xx

Do you feel you have to do it twice a week? If so I would say you are heading down that road. I think it might be better to deal with your sadness in other ways. If your drinking to numb yourself from your feelings your headed down a slippery road which could lead to alcoholism.
If you've been feeling sad for a long time, more than a few weeks seek help from your physician don't suffer in silence as you are now. Depression is a chemical imbalance and there is no shame in seeking help. You would seek a doctors help if you had a sugar imbalance (diabetes) right?
Alcohol is a depressant and in the long run it will worsen your feelings of sadness it's not going to help you.
Life's too short ot go through it feeling this way, hope you get some help and get back on the right track soon! :)

Hey mate, don't worry about all of those external things. Just think about yourself... be a little selfish here. The most important thing is to look after yourself, and drinking is certainly not the way to do so. Trust me, i've been there before.
You know how i broke free? I went running. Everyday. It was the first thing i did. Sometimes when i knew it was especially tough, i'd just go to sleep with my running gear on and when i awoke i knew it was time to get some fresh air. Run until it hurts.
Want a drink? Go for a run. Find a way to get control. Drinking is all about control -- whether you have a problem or not. If you do have a problem, destroy it with exercise. You'll love yourself for it.
Don't drink... get control. Clean up, shave, get a gallon of water and just hydrate. Then run. Until it hurts.
If there's one thing i respect about our president, it's that he kicked his addiction to alcohol. He did it by running too... Now if a guy like him can do it, i know you can.

you're not a alcoholic, just depressed and lonely, looking for a way to deal
been there, you'll get by just leave the booze out of it cause you can get hurt more or even hurt someone else ( an innocent) and you are better than that, i can tell by the way you talk.
sleep, a good nap will help and some old movies to just listen to, go for a walk, go to the library and find some info on depression and how to deal with your troubles. you'll do fine, just give yourself a break now and then and lay down to rest your emotions. get up and do something easy and work your way through this. tomorrow is always new and yesterday is always over. i'm pulling for you today, hope i can help a bit, : )

If you are not one you soon will be if the drinking binges continue. Focus on other things and find other activities to take up your time. Make a friend and meet new people. Don't make excuses, deal with the issues plaguing you before you get to the point of no return...

Don't listen to rude uncaring people here. You are NOT a coward! You are going through a bad time. Sometimes we turn to things to ease the pain - alcohol, food, sex, drugs, spending money. I don't think you're an alcoholic. Find a means to deal with your emotions - maybe prayer, counseling, talking with a good and trusted friend. Drinking never helps anything.
BTW, if people don't have anything good or helpful to say, then they should keep their opinions to themselves!!! Sometimes people are crying out for help here!!!!

the best thing is not to drink by yourself. you'll only be an alcoholic when you need to drink to get through the day. it would help if you could talk to someone about how ur feeling and try and work through your problems. stay away from drink untill you have got ur self sorted out! Good luck.

It sounds like you are depressed. Please talk to someone you know about this. Don't ask us, what do we know???
Maybe you have a serious problem that you don't know of, which is causing you to drink so much. Good luck, you are too young to waste your life this way!

getting drunk is not your problem it is you do not like your self very much
drinking by up self is fine, people do it all of the time, but not having any frieds is something that you have to work on, read a book on it, go get a job where you work with people your own age
do something, but everyone needs friends
