it's like it happened over night. now i get the shakes so bad i will have a shot before work. last week i was so drunk at work i barely escaped not getting in trouble. it doesn't help that i work with alcohol. i quit cold turkey and the withdrawals weren't that bad... but a week later was my birthday so i decided to drink. it wasn't out of control. then the next day was my friend's going away party... drank that night but not too bad. by sat i was drinking all day, and it is obvious. i lie to my family. i haven't done the dishes in weeks. i don't take care of myself. i don't want this for myself. it's so hard being this young. everyone tries to convince me i am not an alcoholic. when i was sober i could go to the bars easily with my friends and have a club soda. i do so well, then throw it all away. i spent more than 500 this last week on NOTHING. do i just tell everyone i am an alcoholic and not let them let me drink? i live in san francisco which is a huge drinking town. i actually live on top of a bar. i just don't understand how it got this way. it was never a problem. i don't do anything i like to do. i am a bad friend. i plan on moving in august just to get away from everyone. if i am this bad at 27, how will i be at 37? i just don't understand if there is a turning point, or if this is it for me.
has anyone else dealt with this at such a young age?

Beleive it or not, most people become alcoholics at in high-school, so don't say you are a young alcoholic. To stop drinking there are several things you should do. Firstly, realize that you are addicted and that if you have 1 drink... you will have others. You need to tell yourself every time you think of drinking: "I am not going to make up some BS excuse to get drunk, it will be bad for me and i'm a dumbass" -this is what I said every time i thought about drinking on "special occasions." If that doesn't work, definitely go to an AA meeting, AA stands for Alcoholics Anonymous where your problem will really be solved if you can't do it yourself. Another option would be to decide to get really addicted to root-beer That stuff tastes really good and helped me a ton, every time I thought of drinking I got a root-beer and forgot about it.
Again, Last resort go to AA -
Can you email me and tell me if this helped?
