ONE DAY AT A TIME!!! Asking for support

Hi I am new to this site and I hope to find the support that we are all looking for while struggling to give up drinking or any addiction. My drinking has gotten out of control I've hurt people that I really love without even noticing it because I was too intoxicated. I started drinking at such a young age and I really didn't care about the consequences but now that I am an adult and have responsibilities I wan't to stop now before it's too late I know it will take time and so much will power but I know that I can do it. I must admit that I am scared I've tried before to give up drinking and I've failed. I am 23 years old and have a bright future in front of me I am in business school and I don't want my drinking to affect my future that's why I've decided to ask for help because I do need it I had denied it in the past just because I was scared to admit it but at this point I just wan't my life back I am tired of alcohol taking control of me. I have surrounded myself with the wrong people, I thought they cared about me but they really didn't they have been drowning me with them and I cant take it anymore. I have so many emotions right now that I cant even explain I would greatly appreciate all your feedback and support. Thank you in advanced!!! And I will be there for anyone that needs my support. God bless you all!!!!

Good for you. I wish I had your insight at your age. I needed to quit when I was 23. Instead I wasted the nest 30 years drinking. I didn't think I had a problem. A big regret. You made the biggest step. You admit you have a problem.
The rest isn't easy- but you can do it. Do it now. Don't waste 30 years of your life like I did.

You came to the right place, lots of nice people here. Friends are difficult, especially when you want to stop drinking. I went through MBA school as a weekend drinker, and it was too demanding. Lots of help here and welcome.

Check in here and I also found Jason Vale's book "Kick The Drink-Easily really helpful and enlightening.
