I think I need some help.
Basiclly I'm sixteen and I drink every day. I sometimes pride myself in being able to outdrink everyone at a party, but really, no one my age should be able to drink like I do. I drink alone. I can't fall asleep. I can only pass out. And it's becoming a problem.
I have many reasons I should be trying to quit. I'm a really dedicated dancer, and it's affected that big time. I'm dragging someone I really care about into another addiction. And I'm gaining weight from the calories I'm consuming in alcohol everyday. I have an underage under my belt, and this just is not working.
There are many reasons I don't want to go to treatment. I don't want to be viewed as the average teenage drinker. I don't want lectures on how alcohol isn't cool and the like. I'm beyond that point. And I've seen many products of teenage rehabs. Basiclly it's nothing I'd even consider.
I've beaten my fair share of addictions cold turkey and on my own. I think this is the one that's sticking though. All the logic is there as to why I should quit. I just can't seem to care or have the slightest motivation to. There's no real concern there yet.
I came here to try to gain some perspective.

Hello Zombina!
Welcome to SR....
I suggest you read some posts and jump on threads that you can relate
to...
It seems by what you have said that alcohol is affecting your life in
many areas..if not all..and it appears to be a serious problem for you.
I suggest you make a doctor appointment now...you are so young and
alcohol abuse does damage our health..at the very least.
A doctor can advise you on this..and suggest options for you to
consider...
My best to you!

Hi Zombina,
You're sixteen and realize you may have a problem. That's a great start because when I was sixteen my head stuck so hard in the keg that I didn't know anything. I thought I knew everything. I'd suggest looking for a young people's AA meeting. There are lots of them around and you'll find people your age who can relate. I hope you find your way. If you get sober now... oh man, the possibilities are endless. I hope you dance...
