Silencer

Hello

I blacked out again last night and I sit here with a bad headache which lead me to discovering this forum.

I drink beer every night until I'm drunk. Insomnia seemed to be a big reason for why I do it because when I don't drink it takes me a very long time to fall asleep.

I'm not even 21 and I need to stop drinking right away. It's killing me.

I feel completely helpless.

Hi,

Addiction makes you feel helpless. That's what the disease does to us.

You can stop drinking.

Insomnia was and still is a big issue for me too. I thought a drink at bedtime would help and it was no time at all before I was hooked.

There is lots of support here, so keep reading and posting.

Welcome Silencer and please, you are not helpless. I can understand the feeling because I was there too and my drinking starting before I was 21 years of age. The drinking age while I was growing up was 18 years of age and I drank before that age too. Please get the support you need to stop. You can do this and we will help you in whatever ways we can. Glad you are here.

Insomnia was an issue for me until I quit drinking... come to find out.

I thought I had anxiety too. Poof! gone.

Actually I think it worked the other way around.. after a few days of not drinking, my anxiety left, and I had restful sleep and a quiet mind.

We're here for you, you're not helpless, but when you're feeling that way, let all my (and your) friends here lend you a hand!
