Out of control
I am writing this because I don't know what to do. I am really scared that my use of alcohol is out of control. I feel pressured by my friends to be part of the drinking scene. I see people in the media using drugs for pleasure. When I'm drunk, I forget alll my problems and school is unimportant. I've dropped out of sports and I o what I can to get money for my alcohol. I bring little bottles of it to school because I can't going the day without it. Can you help me?

omg...you need to stop now! You are completely addicted! First of all don't brink alcohol to school...if you are caught you could be expelled. Clearly you realize that alcohol is changing your life. If you think your use is out of control stop! If you really want to you can do it. Try lowering the amount of alcohol you drink daily to slowly get it of your system. When you are drunk not only do you need more money, but your are putting yourself and your friendships in danger. You will be so much happier when you stop!!!

The first thing you need to do is sit back and realize your life..is this what you want for the rest of your life? your not going to go nowhere--if you are that bad off you do need help--go to AA meetings,rehab,something and get your life back on track--none of your friends should pressure you into anything and if they were true friends they would help you not pressure you. You may wantto consider a new group of people. But you need to take this one step at a time and you already took the main one--admitting you know this is out of control. Now you need to step up to the problem and defeat it and know you are better than this. Have you tried to talk to your parents? i have been through this sitution with n ex of mine except his was drugs and he now is passed away(my baby dad) 1yr ago today--hunny you need to get on track--if you need anything please dont hestate to ask--good luck and keep me posted

Go to a school counselor. They can't tell your parents and they will help you. If you don't care if your parents know, tell them. Get rid of all the alcohol you have and start hanging out with different people.

You've taken the first step by admitting you have a problem. The next step is seeking help. Talk to your parents or another trusted adult. If you don't feel comfortable talking to them, call 1-888-425-2666. This number is tollfree and will connect you with someone experienced in what you're going through. They can refer you to help in your area. Good luck.

I can't help you, but you CAN help yourself.
You obviously feel your drinking is causing a significant problem in your life, since you've posted a question. That's good. Recognizing things that are causing more hurt than help in your life is the first step in trying to overcome them.
Suggestions:
- find a local AA meeting, or an ALA-teen meeting
- ask your doctor for info on local services
- see if your school offers a counselling service
- make a list of everything you miss about your pre-drinking life
- consider leaving behind the friends who are slowly allowing you to ruin your life
- reconnect with a positive friend
- talk with your parents
- call a national helpline
- look online for info about alcholism
Best of luck.

As an alcoholic myself (sober for over 2 years now) I know the kind of thing you're going through, and it's not going to be easy to stop.
You need to get proper help for this, your doctor might be able to recomend somewhere you can go localy or see if you can get a phone number for AA (you really need to talk to someone about it, and not your friends). But the first and most important step (and it's going to be very, very hard) is to stop drinking, you'll never give up if you don't stop yourself from taking that first drink.
Take it one day at a time (or even one hour if a whole day seems too much to start with), just tell yourself that for today your not going to have a drink, don't worry about tomorrow until it get's here.
If you need any more help or support please e-mail me supernaut@ntlworld.com
I hope that you find the strength to stop and get yourself back on track.
