Hello everyone,
This is my first attempt at reaching out and finding answers about my alcohol use and the problems I've been experiencing with it as of recently. About two years ago I began drinking heavily as a way of coping with a rough break up that I was going through. Although the effects of the break up have long been gone I continued to drink in excessive amounts. It never occurred to me that it might actually be an issue until recently. I've done a little research on alcoholism and it's effects and have reason to believe I might be suffering from it. For example, my appetite is almost non existent, I have trouble sleeping, experience excessive sweating, and my moods are up and down. I'm also going through a rough patch with a girl I've been dating for sometime now which has also left me feeling depressed/anxious at times which doesn't help. I'm scared that my alcohol use will negatively effect both me and my relationships with friends, family, and significant other and so I've come here for help. Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks
