u should stop drinking and try going to church and being a christian and praying to god and trust me that will turn you life around! getting drunk only gives u temporary relief for your troubles and actulay makes your life worse. going to god gives u eternal salvation and he will help and becoming a christian will completly turn your life around.

sounds like you have been going through a lot, yes i know drinking is a fun thing, but dont make it a regular thing, that is when you start to become addicted, and will start doing thingslike your mom was doing.. i have gone through a rather simular process, where my stepdad was an alchohalic. I now go to meetings (i know this may sound stupid) but you should do some research on them, its called Alateen, or Alonon. when you go to those meetings, you find many other teens that are exactly like you and you talk to them...if you want more info you can talk to me.

well, CONGRATULATIONS! the first step is admitence, there are so many other ways to get rid of your troubles! you cant drink them away, drinking makes you relly on something, and you dont need to. you should rely on your friends and other family members. drinking will, indeed, kill you, it destroys your liver. and it impares your judgement, if you dont want to be like your mom and you really want to stop, then you have all of the power in the world to stop, but if you cant, then you dont truly want to, you MUST truly and totaly want to stop, for you to be able to!

best of luck!

thanks for letting me help you, and i sure hope that I did help!

always there-
Kels

please leave feedback! :)

i think youve been very brave so far and your good enough to want to do something about it and im glad of this because its something to say youve got a problem but its another thing to do something about it so well done and well done to your mum aswell for coming clean anyways i think the best way for you if you dont want to go down the same path as your mum is to speak to your mum about it she's been there and she can help you stop or cut down on your drinking maybe you could get some counciling because alot of people drink or take drugs because they are hiding and running away from there problems so counciling is a good way to deal with these problems and not block them out you see if you face your problems then you wont feel the need to drink anymore because you will have nothing to run away from hope ive been some help
xxxjessxxx p.s you can always come to me and talk if you feel the need to

Children of alcoholics have a higher rate of becoming one themselves. If you have trouble leaving it alone...tell mom. She's been there. Get help for the problem before it becomes a really big one. :)

You've been through quite alot. I'm sorry but it's sounds like you've been brave through it all. My recomendation is to keep playing over and over again in your head the troubles your mom faced. This may kill you to think about at first but it will make you give up your drink. Think about your future & though a bit of alchohol may rid you of your troubles, they don't really go away, drinks just drown them temporarily. Try picking up a new hobby that you can drive your energy into. It will make your problems fade because your concentration is going into one thing. Also, some new positive friends will come in handy. Try getting involved with the community, it's a great way to make new friends who will be there for you. If you ever need anymore help, feel free to let me know, I'm always available.
