im 36 & live in the US i dunno much about help in china from alcoholics but pray for strength from God cuz if anyone who has ever been an addict & think they have quit in their own strength is in for a relapse with that said can u check into detox type help & aftercare with counseling meetings & with the eating disorder ur body can go downhill even faster i know its not easy ive been there but if u take steps for help it does get better & if theres anyone in ur life who drinks kick em out i did including my husband who refused to quit a lot easier said than done all of these things i know but u r number one to get rid of these demons & take care of u

I certainly do. You are a worthwhile person, no matter what problems you currently have, and you can overcome your problems. Please consider attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings; they have them in China. I don't know if we are allowed to provide links but you can find information on the internet. And please come back here because I am interested in offering you what emotional support I am able to give.

icecream is right. alcoholics anonymous. perhaps detox too. google AA, go to the home page, look or put in your location and country and meetings in your area will show up. please try to give this a go. you can't do it alone or with your willpower. you need support from others, particulary from those who have achieved sobriety. as for your other medical problems, i'd suggest you share this with your doctor and get his advice re what medical treatment is available. i'd strongly suggest u tell him your suicidal thoughts. i'm glad u posted and wish you well. you can get well. please keep us posted. we care

Hi ~ Please don't hurt yourself. I've been where you are. they have alcoholics anonymous all over the world. If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, go to a meeting!!! They will welcome you with OPEN ARMS!!! They will help you to quit drinking -- they will walk the walk with you. I drank HEAVILY for 20 years - and I just plain quit with the help of AA. It wasn't that hard - I promise you!! They were there for me the whole way.

Please - call them and/or go to a meeting. This is your life we're talking about! God doesn't WANT you to die now. Your life is a gift - don't waste it. Call them please! God bless you - and if you want to talk, let me know. Hugs, Lee
