Re: drinking problem - January 21st 2017, 10:31 PM

Hey, there. Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty overcoming your alcohol addiction. Have you tried speaking to a friend or family member? Nobody is expected to go through any form of recovery by themselves and the bigger support group you have, the easier it will be to go through. Also, I recommend searching for programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. I don't know what country you're in, but I'm sure there'll be something similar to that where you are. If you're afraid to make the first step, have a trusted friend or family member do it for you.

Meanwhile, don't be afraid to use one of the many resources TeenHelp provides, such as the HelpLINK system or LiveHelp. Be sure to pop into chat sometimes when you need a distraction and feel the need to have a drink. You will also expand your social circle that way, because who knows... you might make a new friend!

If you have any questions about alcoholism, you can PM me. I've been struggling with the addiction for a while, but I wouldn't call myself a full-blown alcoholic.
