Hey
I am 16 and an alcoholic and sex addict. The drink started with my dad and I thought that was the only way I could get close with him and make him proud of and sadly it was. I have since cut him out because I have realised that if I want to get better I shouldn’t be around him because he won’t change.but the sex stared when I was about 5 I was forced by people I knew and then grew up thinking sex like that was normal and I have not been able to stop. I am scared I don’t want to end up like my dad and the sex has put me in some difficult situation. What should I do I have been 2 weeks clean of alcohol and only a week of sex I want to stay that way how do you do it
I’d start with an intake counselor/therapist at a behavioral health center. Be open and honest. Listen to suggestions and get some options, once you have some options you can pick what’s best and move forward from there. A bunch of strangers on the net are good for support and some advice but we cant offer a lot of options.

I agree caustic what you said makes sense and it will help I have therapy once a month along with behavior meds once a month also I joined a program called COAT they help with drug addicts on different levels. Hope that helps out.

@Ashpas, I’m so sorry about your past. I too was sexually assaulted as a child and had an alcoholic dad. I grew up thinking that was how you showed someone love. please know that you are not at anyway at fault. I’m proud of you for telling your story as well as quiting drinking. Do you have an adult you can talk to about getting help? A free clinic you can go to? Your dr? Have you been checked for Sti’s? Please take care of yourself. I had a therapist for a while and learned about the consequences of being sexual molestated as a child. It’s hard to move past that without help. I also read about how to overcome being molested and have healthy relationships. Believe in yourself. I believe in you. Keep coming back and reading post and asking for help. You can do this.
