anyone here a recovering alcoholic?

[Bassin Buick]

smoked lots of cocaine , sold (not stole) to support my habit. Went to prison for 3 years , seen numerous crackheads who had been in and out of prison for doing stupid **** to support the habit. Once i seen that i never touched the **** again, Been 4 years since i got out. So 4 years plus the 3 years in prison clean and would never dream of touching the **** again. I think my addiction changed to car audio now though. LOL

do or dont, it is that simple. There is support everywhere, what king of support you seek is going to be on you to make the choice of using or not using. You know your limits. I have a buddy that is a recoving meth addict and been sober for 15 years now. He did it all on his own will to change and have a better life. He used to seek out people that befreinded him as an addict, now he spends time in different company with thoses that give him strenght to stay away, because they simply dont do those things. I havent touched pot since highschool. my will to move past that, but I will never forget what it was like and I use simple reminders to help me keep my focus. Blah blah.

its hard being in high school because sitting at parties sober isnt always fun but even after the parties on days im just sitting around doing nothing all i want to do is drink. and i cant just get a nice buzz either i drink until i go to bed which is the issue. not because i have problems or i hate my life i have two married parents under what i would consider a fairly normal roof so idk how it go to be this way. i want to be like everyone else that has a few beers a couple times a week and leaves it at that. instead im 17 years old going thru a half gallon of vodka to myself per week.

just stop drinking then. fyi, its not normal for a 17yr old to be drinking a couple beers every day.

same difference. its still not normal for 17yr old kids to be drinking alcohol. If the problem is you cant control yourself at a party, dont go to the party. Figure out what yoru vice is and avoid putting yourself in that situation. Pretty simple if you ask me. Get a new hobby.

Whew, well a half a week is quite a bit just to casually drink on. I would feel like **** if I drank that much. I don't touch it during the week, just maybe on weekends. Sounds like it might be a problem for you. I would try to ween it down to just the weekends, if that.

with the time you spend drinking and becoming deranged, you should learn a new skill. learn to photoshop or hack stuff. playing instruments is a great way to get the ladies...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
