I'm glad I'm not unique actually... it means there's actually hope for me. I'm sick of being "special". Thanks dear

I do need support. Mostly because my friends telling me to "just not drink" ain't helping! (Although they do know about the AA thing). I need to find a meeting with younger people though - it's still awkward being the youngest person at meetings whenever I go!!

That's really sad. We've got a messed up world on our hands... Thanks dear eskie
