yeah this what I am faced with, everything in my life has been put on hold which sucks because I am already behinf as it is( 25 and still havn't graduated from college). I didn't learn my lesson the first time, friends and family had confronted me about it but I didn't want to listen. Unfortunitly it took this as a swift kick in the ass to get me to realize my situation, I am very thankfull I never hurt anybody but myself, things could have been much worse.....
also, to the person who said they can't stop once he/she starts..that is my same problem, I didn't HAVE to always have a drink, I didn't wake up in the morning and drank to get started, for me it was the times when I DID drink I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, but I also drank to drown away any problems I was having...this is what makes me an alcoholic
