Stopping drinking before it ruins my relationship
Hello,
I am an 18 year old, who does like to drink alochol quite frequently (not proud of it) and have been doing so since I was 17. I drink every 2-3 days depending on my mood. I think my drinking habits are too excessive for my age and every time I have a drink it upsets people. It upsets my boyfriend the most as every time im drunk I say horrible things to him that I dont mean and wouldnt say sober.i do love him to pieces.he tried to support me and tells me to stop drinking but I cannot help myself. I would be gratefull if anyone could give me some tips on how to control my drinking before it's too late thanks

It sounds to me like you have a problem with alcohol that is not truly related to your age. The type of problem you have related is the type you would most likely experience at any age. TO put a name to it you are a "Problem Drinker."
There is no cure for this problem other than to stop drinking altogether. If you truly want to stop drinking not just control your drinking, there is a difference, then you should look into joining Alcoholics Anonymous (aa). Below is a link to their home page where you can find the location of meetings close to you.
My brother in-law is a 25 year recovering alcoholic and credits aa for his sobriety. The meetings are free. They pass a plate around at each meeting for donations. Donate if you can.
If you truly want to stop drinking they can help you. the word anonymous means just that. You're known only by your first name. They will not tell your parents or your school. They will find you a sponsor who you can talk to and who will help you stop drinking.
Your sponsor may encourage you to tell your parents about your drinking and I support you doing so as well as your boyfriend. The reason for doing so is there is a support group for them called al-anon for your parents and Alateen for your boyfriend where they can meet others who have loved ones with drinking problems and learn how to help them. Once again these meetings are free and you will find a link to their homepage below.
While the problem you have is not the drinking per say it is your bodies’ reaction to alcohol. Two or three drinks depending on how large they are should not make the average person so drunk as to cause what happens to you when you drink. Your body is the problem in that it does not tolerate alcohol most likely in any amount.
The only way to fix this problem is to stop drinking. The suggestions I made above will work if you work the program. It aa is a tried and true program that has helped millions of people and will help you as well.
