Im tired of being drunk

I’m 22 years old I have a great job and I have a problem with drinking. I currently am in hard times with my girlfriend because of my drinking problem. I am new here and I hope to meet other people that are having the same issue. I hope to be sober for the rest of my life.

I wish I had the insight to get help at 22.

This shit doesn’t go away. I had a drinking problem in college, after college, first job, and now at 29.

I ruined a relationship.

Please get it under control by any means necessary. The sooner the better.

Welcome. I agree with @Nullcorp. I wish I’d quit at your age too. It just gets worse. Lots of good people and words of wisdom here. Look around and read posts and you’ll see a lot of great advice and support.

Take it from a old guy I wish I stopped at your age. My whole family would have been much happier had I gotten and stayed sober. There are meds that help with cravings. Good luck

Good luck, it takes a lot of will power and work, but you can do this! :muscle:

Im 24 years old and have stopped drinking, i didnt really feel the withdrawls, just 2 days with dizzy and sad + craving. Now my 4 day, Im happy i relaized it at so young. Still have some thoughts and dreams about alcohol, do it now!

Be like me, dont wait so it can get worse. My dayli drinks was:

  • alot of beers and wine, my goal was getting drunk and stupid. I did this for 3 years, not so xtreme tho… the last year this got real bad… I even smoked at morning and drinking at night / after work.

Cannot belive I did this, horrible…

Thanks for your support everyone. It’s going to be probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I’m ready to change. I feel shitty because of the fact my girlfriend of 5 years is leaving me because of my drinking problem.
