I am so hurt and lost. For the past few months my life has been crashing down around me. My mom is in jail for 5 years. Living with a dad I never met before because my grandparents didn’t want me. In ten days I have to go to a bootcamp for a crime I didn’t commit. After 16 months my girlfriend left my for my cousin. I lost my job. I don’t know what to do. I hate this world. I’m lost and alone in a big city. I need help. I get drunk almost everynight. I’ve been to rehab fir it already. I don’t know what to do anymore.

You are never alone. It may seem that way, but there is always someone. I know this probably isn’t what you wanna hear, but it gets better. I’m really sorry about your girlfriend, I know how much it sucks. But just think, there’s plenty of fish in the sea, it’ll take time to find your nemo(: just don’t give up, never give up. No matter how bad you want to, don’t.
Are there Alcoholics Anonymous meetings where you live? That is something that has been a great help to me. People there generally will go far out of their way to make people feel welcome and help young people with drinking problems in any way that they can. You’ve had some very real upheavals in your life and it is perfectly normal to be struggling, but to overcome your past and background to have a happy life will take WORK. Believe it or not, people like us really have to put time and effort into being happy and functional. I’ve seen plenty of people in your spot turn things around.
I probably don’t have to tell you that if you are using alcohol to cope, it is not going to turn out well. I know the feeling: if I don’t drink, I’m going to be miserable and kill myself. But trust me when I say that chronic substance abuse can open up pathways to misery you can’t even imagine.
My saving grace was finding friends that I could talk to. People that cared enough to listen. I know it doesn’t seem like it when you’re in that dark place, but if you’ll just reach out to those closest to you…or anyone you can confide in, they’ll be more supportive than you think. Wishing you the best 🙂
