scared and alone
I've just came off a 3 day bender. I insulted tons of people on facebook and friends who came over. I feel horrible. I'm withdrawing from alcohol. I keep having panic attacks and cant seem to settle down.
all I want for christmas is a clean sober life

I think most of us can identify with your situation eyedea 
You'll find a lot of support here.
Why not check out the Class of December thread (also in this forum) - lots of people quitting this month in there
Have you got any ideas about what you could do so you stay sober and this kind of thing never happens again?

it seems like the only way is to go into hiding and cut off all communication in my community. I'm surrounded by alcoholism. I'm 23 and still live with my parents and we can not afford a program. my father also has a problem and can't seem to get over the fact that I want to change. my friends seem to not take it seriously that i want actual sobriety.

welcome,, eye! there are a lot of people who have been confused and in pain just like you are.....a lot who still are too! but support like this & hanging with others who have found the way out of that sad place is a great start.....please keep coming back & give yourself a chance.

Welcome eye ! :-) that will be the best Christmas prezzie you could ever give yourself :-)
A lot of us have insulted and done stupid things we regret drunk to our family and friends - the upshot is your family will forgive and forget and your true friends although maybe pissed will be there regardless
I was edgy at the beginning -'keep pushing through it and keep off Facebook and talk to us instead !
Seasons greetings!

I know exactly how u feel hun 
but the feeling of remorse means that genuinely you are a good person who knows right from wrong and who knows how to treat people with kindness and love. The drunk you doesn't know but that's not the true you. So be proud of that.
I know people who are so harsh and cruel when drunk and have no remorse about their actions when sober. Those people have such deep seeded problems and I feel lucky that I'm not one of those. You should too
