I made that decision a few times, until I realized that moderation is not a viable solution for an alcoholic. I’ll always be grateful when I asked for help to stop, I was still able to make that decision.. many do not.

I hope you stay safe, amigo.
Drinking is dangerous business if you have previously exhibited alcoholic tendencies.
I hope that you reconsider your decision, because the consequences could be the difference between life and death.
It took me many years of knowing I was an alcoholic and in need of help before I ultimately sought it and followed the advice of the professionals.
Those years were quite painful.
I wish that I had gotten sober when I first realized I was an alcoholic.
We think you're making an unhealthy decision, but you are always welcome here.
We hope to hear from you soon.

help build a strong foundation to live
upon one day at a time.
So many continue to stay in their
addiction thinking that can control
it and yet it is impossible to do so
without making changes in themselves
and their lives.
There are many places to go today
to let folks capable of teaching you
how to get off that merry go round
of addiction and learn to live alcohol
and drug free.
Since i wasn't capable of seeking help
on my own back in 1990, my family stepped
in placing me into the hands of those
capable of teaching me about my addiction
and giving me a program of recovery to
live by to remain sober for 27 yrs now.
A 28 day instay rehab with a 6 week
outpatient aftercare program helped
me to begin my journey living a life
with continuous maintenance using
the gift of a recovery program as my
guideline each and everyday i remain
sober.
Continue to listen, learn, absorb and
apply all the knowledge and help available
to you to get off that addiction train
for good to live a healthy, happy, honest
life ahead of you.
SR is one of many lifelines available
to many to help you. Don't let go of
this one, but go get you more to help
yourself.
To know that none of us ever has
to go thru anything in life alone is
extremely comforting.

Hi Calvin. Who am I to judge...at your age I knew I was an alcoholic and I continued to drink for another 24 years.
Two things: one, be safe. Young men your age with drinking problems get themselves into some bad situations. Jail or death are risks for you. Know that when you drink, you're generally not in control. Plan your drinking knowing that. I'm not trying to use scare tactics, its just that I think you're a cool kid and your age plus gender plus alcohol issues = some bad stuff sometimes.
Two: come back here whenever you need to. Even if you haven't quit yet but you are struggling. You're always welcome here.
Peace and hugs and take care of yourself.
