I need a change

Hey, my name is Mia and I am 20 years old. In a couple years, I have managed to ruin countless friendships and destroy my body. I always tell myself that I will stop drinking and then last 2 days before falling into a week long drinking spree. Half the time I wake up somewhere that I don’t remember how I got there. I get nasty and start fights with my best friends and family. I chalked it up to, everyone drinks in college, but for me its way beyond that. When I’m happy/sad/angry/bored/excited/can’t sleep, I drink. As of today I am one week sober and I hope to keep it up for the rest of my life. This is gonna be a tough road but if I stay strong I am determined I can do it. Just yesterday, I had a rough day and thought I really needed a drink but my determination, and my very supportive roommate kept me on the right path.
