I'm losing friends and nobody seems to even realise what my problem is. But i wont tell anyone because it's too embarising. I need drink when i wake up. At lunch and in the evening when i usually get drunk. It's affecting my sleep, i can't even get 2 hours a night anymore. I never have any money because it all goes on drink and fags.
i can't stop on my own, ive tried and it actually made me feel really ill and at one point it felt like i was going to die and i couldn't stop shaking. So i just gave in and reached for the nearest bottle to fix it. It's been like this for about 1 year. Will i need to get help stopping or do you think i should try again on my own-and if not, where do i go for help? and what would it be like? i'm losing my life here

ho4ld4en, hello...
It's good that you have taken the first step in admitting you want to stop.
It's a giant step, and I applaud your honesty.
It jme, but what you are describing may be withdrawal from the alcohol. There is help available to ease these symptoms, help you through the worst of the physical.
Do you have a physician that would be willing to help you?
Is there a detox program in your area?
AA or another twelve step program? Members would know what is available in your town.
Fags is something I've not heard in a long time...weed?
Please let us know how you are doing, ok? You've already taken the first step by asking for help...
We Care
