Hi Brandon and :welcome:

This is a great place for support with drinking problems. Good for you looking to address the problem now rather than wasting more years and your health on alcohol!

You might want to start by downloading the My Way Out book from the health store here. It's a great read and suggests ways to address the toll on our health that alcohol takes. I also recommend the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html thread as a source of great ideas.

Brandon, you sound really panicky, and I'm wondering why you're so against going to the doctor. If you can't stop harming your body don't you think maybe you need some outside help? Could you talk to a counselor or go to AA? There's nothing wrong with needing help. And, I think there are groups forming for young people. I just read about a guy today who had been through rehab a bunch of times and finally "made it" and then set up a treatment center for young people. I hope you'll consider reaching out to someone. This site is great, but no one here is a medical professional.

Whaddya think?

Sending you support!
