Joining you all finally
I found the forum lastly year and signed up but didn't have the courage to quit until now. I'm 26 and actually a student in healthcare well aware of all the risks of alcohol but I did it anyway. After 4 years of increasing abuse which thankfully didn't cost my professional life but has dramatically impaired my friendship with my best friend I'm finally calling it quits. Presently I'm not seeking professional aid due to time constraints and hope everyone here can help me as you have helped countless others to defeat this evil before it destroys my life. I'm incredibly blessed with a wonderful lifestyle and future career and I want to make sure I make the most of what the universe has given me rather than throw it all away and descend into madness. As I was making the decision to overcome this I also developed a generalized Itch randomly allover the body. I'm aware liver disease may cause this and can only hope it's not damaged enough to fail to recover.
Thanks in advance for all your support!
