I'M A SUICIDAL TEENAGE GIRL WHO IS BECOMING AN ALCOHOLIC. I
I am a teenage girl. I am completely SICK AND TIRED of being single and shunned by everyone I know. Lately I have started drinking. Actually it's a bottle of my parents' red wine that I have taken and hidden from them. Every day since about a week ago I have been drinking about 2-3 sips of it every day. (which is a lot for me) I used to get headaches and feel bad after I drank, but now I feel really good- like it's the only thing that can make me happy. I don't really get hangovers anymore either. Maybe this wine is really strong or something, but I feel the affects of it (without getting drunk) after this small amount. I feel all gross the next day until I drink again. And I fall apart and shake and start crying if I don't drink some. It usually sends this tingling sensation all through my body (similar to sexual desire) and I get really horny. Like I feel like i could masturbate for 5 hours. Then, whatever is upsetting me at the time comes back and I have another emotional breakdown. Please tell me if you think I have become an alcoholic or not.

I don't think you're quite an alchoholic just yet.. but you need to stop where you are. Do you really want to become dependant on this now?
Dont throw your life away on this.. please.
Also, with what's making you sad (the weight) just try a simple diet, and count the days you can do it. When you feel like you want to drink, work out.
Also, you need to realize, drinking will make you gain more weight, so you're just throwing yourself into a horrible cycle.

Firstly, when you say you have started drinking, I wouldn't consider that to be 2/3 sips of wine. It would get worrying if you started having glassfuls, leading to half the bottle, then a full bottle. But who's to say you drinking 2/3 sips won't lead onto that?
I do not feel the effects you are feeling are actually from the wine, but are from the fact you stole it from your parents.. and you know you shouldn't be drinking it, which could be giving you a rush - or make you feel like you are in charge of your body.
So no. I do not think you're an alcoholic. Especially if this has only been going on for a week.
But you do need to stop, as you aren't gaining anything out of it. What's having a few moments of pleasure..then when it's over go back to having another emotional breakdown?
There's no point really, and it's certainly not doing you any favours.
You say you're depressed because you're overweight. That's not a problem. You can do something about it. Losing weight is alot easier than beating the effects of alcohol and becoming an alcoholic. Alcoholics need help. People who need to shift some weight need a bit of will power.
It's good you are doing stage acting and dancing, because it gives the impression you are comfortable with who you are (even if you are not), so carry on doing that.
Don't worry about your weight. Find a diet plan that suits you if you are really that bothered about it. and get extra exercise apart from your dance classes.
Ditch the wine. It's not doing anything for you.
Best of luck, if you'd like further help, I'd be happy to help.

SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY!!! I don't even know you, but I am kinda concerned for your health. I'm not really the person who can diagnose you, but I really think you should see a doctor or somebody who can help you. You might be REALLY depressed and just need somebody to talk to. I'm always here so feel free to ask me anything. But what you really need to do is get rid of the wine, and just get help.
