I can't get hammered?

I can't get drunk at all no matter how many bottles of booze I have or yet I can't even remember what happend the day before doing so. Maybe I don't cut it at this age for drinking but the effect and the taste seems so alive. lol

I have no real words for you seeing that I am a recovering alcoholic and an addict. I just want to say that you shouldn't be drinking at your age, but that is not my place. I started at a younger age than you, and in return I found out that I had a severe problem with not only alcohol but with various other drugs that ruined my life. If you feel the need to drink please do it in moderation and on special occasions.

Aww, you need the hug more than me. Sometimes I wonder to myself why do we start these things in the first place. Was it others around us doing the same thing? I hope you are now getting the surport now for what you have been through.

Yes I am and thank you. You need a hug yourself.
ok i have no clue how you did it so you have to get ghetto hugs (((((((((((((((Miss A)))))))))))))))))
I hope that you get the support you need and get through this hard time that you are having also.

Alcohol I always figured was a part of life. It was always around. In the house at every celebration, gatherings, funeral even at church. Mom and dad had to down who knows how many drinks every night before supper. Drugs I figured out would give affect I was looking for I just knew that by watching kids who did them. It's weird cuz I remember the warning pamplets they had in school aginst drugs plus the ppl they would have come in and talk about them. Those things always attraked me to them more than detured me from them. Another thing I remember is at a very young age in the middle of the night climbing up the kitchen cabinets to get to the window sill above the sink sneaking swigs of cough medecine and I liked it a lot. Whoa!!! talk about memory geesh!!
I don't know how old you are but not being able to get hammered is not necassarily a good sign. I remember being like that when I was younger and at other points. Come to find out it was because of high tolerance. When you said you don't remember things from the day before, that sounds like a black out. Yep, I remember those days when the effect and the taste were so alive. Have tried to recapture that time and time agin. Thanks for the trigger back to memory lane. Helps me want to stay clean and sober for this day.

it really scares me, Miss A, that you drink to try to get "hammered".....do you parents know you drink? alcohol is a depressant and you just mentioned getting ADs. drinking with some ADs can be harmful and sometimes, dangerous. if you can't remember what you did, while drinking, that means you're drinking to the point of having blackouts. that is a state where you are "still with it" but you don't know what you're doing or why you're doing it. that means you could do anything while in that state.......pat

((((miss) )) what does your T say about your drinking?

I don't drink so much now! My parents don't know but found out and band me from it. I've recently only had one session of therpy as it took awhile to seek help. I haven't got round to talking about alcohol just yet. My mum used to be a alcoholic and what made it more worse is when she went out got drunk and fell over some steps at a club. Then broke her arm for life, she still can use her left arm a little bit. But she has to make the decision still whether to have an operation. I haven't talked about a lot of stuff in my life as there's so much I dunno where to start. Could right a whole book if I wanted too. But that seems not right as others are involed too. Thank you for your time. But I don't do so much as more only going out somewhere with friends or like a party. So I'm just going to take a DEEP BREATH right now!

Not a good thing to start getting into, it will just create more problems.
Sure, I know, the "hammered or wasted" can be a fun escape from stress and stuff, but once sober, life's reality is still there
My former therapist use to tell me that is only a short lived "escape" and risky too, took me awhile but in the long run he was so very right.
Please don't do that to yourself, it messes up one's mind and eventually lives. Be good to yourself, listen to your therapist, if meds needed take them, give all of this a chance, you are worth it
Therapy, one hour you say isn't enough, and meds aren't everything (I know not your exact words, but point made) but in time you'll find it all helps, I started out going twice a week, then once a week with therapist and once a week see the pdoc. Over time, I have reached a point I only have to see my pdoc 6 to 8 weeks And talk therapy now has been left up to me, I kind of "graduated" to this option.
I will admit, lately I am considering to set up talk therapy sessions once or twice a month just to cover some rough spots I have hit recently.
I hate to sound like this is a "pep" talk, but really want to encourage you to take care of yourself, you are so lucky to be so young and have the chance and time to get yourself together. I remember my teens, it wasn't fun, I toughed it out and by my early 20's things became terrific, sure up and down, not perfect, but a heck of a lot better.
The hormonal change also helped, getting through adolescents can be a challenge, but look forward and beyond the present. You'll make it
I have found life's challenges down the road make many of us stronger, and a little more resilent to things we weren't in the past.
Please take care, don't give up on yourself, even if you may feel others have. That negative mindset doesn't help your self-esteem, and stop doubting people care, they do.
Don't base your recovery, or whatever term that would be better, be based on what others think, concentrate on yourself, that is most important

Take care now,
DE

Thank you for your time replying to my stupid topic that I only wish I could have delected in time but oh well. The thing is when it comes to drinking it has its own ups and downs like faults. Plase ignore this issue as it is not helping
