Hey all,
I've been an alcoholic for as long as I can remeraber. I am 27, took my first sip at 17- and ever since then I can't seem to get off it. And it's not like I was drinking all the time back then, but when I did, I planned on drinking enough to get drunk. Even at 19, my bf was in the military & I couldn't wait for his duty days (had to be on the ship for 24 hrs) just so I could sit back and get shit faced.
I tried to quit alcohol when I was 22, I was very happy about it, lost weight that I had gained from it which brought my confidence up. I guess my biggest mistake was thinking I had control over it, so 4 months sober I decided to have a drink at a party. And the drink turned into another drink. I drove home a few hrs later, only to miss the freeway ramp and roll my car 3 times over. How I escaped without a scratch is a mystery, I had to crawl out my back crushed window.
Anyone reading this would think that would be a wake up call, but it wasn't. Few years later at age 26, got a second dui. My former friend who is bipolar, invited me over for drinks. Drank too much, as usual, then she kicked me out of her house (along with some frienRAB). Tried to drive home but hit a road barrier, totaled my dad's 40 grand F150.
How do I get off alcohol? I can't seem to stop, and I drink more & more every day. I had to move back home when my relationship ended (1 yr ago), and my mom won't drive me to AA meetings, she is mentally ill. My dad left the house & found a new woman, and doesn't have the time to take me to meetings either. I can't drive due to the 2nd dui, and it will cost me close to 6 grand to get my license back.
I need help.
