I was only 16 when I changed school and went to live in another town which isn't very far from where my parents live, but still... I got my own apartment and new friends and that's where it started. Teachers in my new school have very high demands and everything is so much more difficult than it used to be. Plus living on my own - taking care of everything etc. And in the end of Sptember my boyfriend said he has someone else now and that's it. That was the moment I broke down. I started to seek comfort in alcohol and I found it for a while... until I was drunk. I didn't care about anything - school was history for that time. Yes, I still went there sometimes, but always smelled like alcohol and felt really sick all the time. And they wondered who puked in all the toilets at school. Yeah... Anyway, when I was in my lowest period, I met another guy. I thought it's just going to be a one night stand, but he didn't let me go... for a while. Then he said he doesn't like that I drink and smoke that much and left me. Then I understood that I'm not the person I want to be. I had started to love him and quit smoking and drinking. And he came back... But then we went to all kinds of partys together and he always drank so much and so I started again. (didn't start smoking, though) Now, a week ago he left me again (for about 6th time already...) and I know he's not coming back this time. Then I felt weak again and now I've been drinking... a lot. I think I'm not sober at the moment either, but I had to get my story out... It's not anything special, but yeah, that's my life. Oh, and school is messed up as well. Bad marks and so on... it just gets me down.

Hello and welcome. This is the first start to open up the problem. I guess that you are young. That is good because then you have alot good time ahead.
Try to talk to somebody you trust in your life to figure out what you can do. You always have us here your new friends and you can ask me everything. I have had pretty much all the problem you talk about and now I am 35 and have not cleaned all up. I wished I have woken up earlyer.
Sorry about my spelling ( I am foreigner)
Take care,

Welcome Addie,
Sounds like you got control once and now you need to do it again and you know that you can. Dig down and find what motivates you to want to be better, whatever that is.

Stick around here, read the book and keep talking.

Good luck

Addie,
Welcome...we all have a sad story and for whatever reason turned to alcohol. I am assuming you are young....do your best to stop now before you end up drinking years of your life away like many of us. Keep reading and posting...
