I’m sixteen and i’m an alcoholic already at my age. My town isn’t exactly big on morals so getting a hold of it isn’t a problem
But… I think alcohol saved my life.
If i wasn’t drunk every evening, I believe I would not be here today. I firmly believe I would have killed myself long ago.
I am so disillusioned with the world and the only time I don’t care about who or what i hate and why or how much I hate it is when i feel so inebriated.
I guess i’m just wondering how healthy this is mentally? It’s obvious it isn’t good for my body but like i said, it keeps me alive during the nights- passing out drunk stops me crying myself to sleep. Is drunkenness a healthy escape from the desolate gloom of depression I find so familiar?
And is it really such a bad thing… if it keeps me going and essentially saves my life?

shit, if its good to ya, then it has to be good for ya (: and no, it is very damaging to every organ in your body, but so is breathing this shit we call AIR. I’m not saying don’t drink, I’m sippin on a cold one as I write this, but just remember dont do anything youll regret like driving drunk, enough idiots do that already (: peace out
My doctor asked how much I drank so I tried to be conservative and said on average only 4 pints a day. He almost fell off his chair in shock making me out to be an alco. I thought 4 was normal. I actually drink a lot more but tend to make up for any shortfall at the weekend. I’m not saying you should drink. I’m in a completely different category. For me there’s no going back from here. Plus Ive smoked 20 a day since the age of 12.
You might think drinking is cool but it’s actually really bad. It leads to liver damage, memory loss, road traffic accidents and teenage pregnancy. You should stop now before you experience any of these. Although the last one might be difficult.
The alcohol that saves you now from pain is slowly killing you. Please talk to a professional. If you want to die this is the WORST way. If you don’t, get some help please. I have been sober over 2 yrs now.
I don’t think it’s cool. I am frightened about the problems it would cause me.
I drink about 5/6 pints a day, enough to get me drunk basically.
The question i meant to ask was, should I stop because of this despite me being even more frightened that sober i’d just kill myself…
