Hey this is my story/situation Ig (not recovered)
(Could be trigging Idk tbh)
Hi, I'm 18 and Ive struggled with drinking for a very long time. I started drinking when I was really little but it didn't get bad till around HS. I use to drink during school with my friends. I realized I had a problem when I got alcohol poising at a hotel when I was 16. After that I stopped drinking for awhile but it didn't last long. Everyone in my family drinks so it's really hard not to and it's hard to stop bc it's like a competition and is encouraged in my family. When something bad happens my family pushes alcohol to me to calm me down. It's now become a bigger problem bc I started mixing alcohol with drugs bc it gets me there faster. I just want to be able to at least slow down.
So my story...I'm 16 and I'm high school and I had my first drink one night when my family was asleep and I want to see what their liquor tasted like. Well my family has a loooong history of alcoholism and addiction so that's not good. Anyway some reason I became really fascinated with it and kept doing almost every night. Then on my birthday I got some friends to buy alcohol and I got so wasted I couldn't even stand up! It scared me a little and I stopped for a while but I have been craving it non stop for weeks now and the other day I gave in and got some more. I just can't stop! My goal is to break that craving and to finally not feel like I need alcohol 😔
I have been having a problem stopping too.. I have 5 days now... one day at a time
