I was in treatment once when I was 19. I ended up leaving because I felt like I had such a different type of "alcoholism" than everyone else there. I am a binge drinker and everyone else there was an "everyday" drinker and I felt very out of place and like it didn't help... I know that I need to take the step to go to AA. I WILL do it. I WANT to do it. I have run out of excuses.

Hi again,
I was a binge drinker too. I went to treatment. Never mind if you drink differently than others, it doesn't mean you're not an alcoholic.
Try not to put the cart in front of the horse - treat your addiction first, and then maybe you can start looking at the underlying issues. I know it's terrifying to think of living without alcohol, even with such disastrous consequences, but once you're free from it's grasp, it's the most freeing experience ever.
I was sexually assaulted twice - once at 16, and again at 19. There may have been other instances. I'll never know. I understand the shame, guilt and remorse associated with what happened, because I felt somehow responsible because I had been drinking. I wasn't responsible, but I've learned that by choosing to continue to drink and put myself in risky situations was irresponsible of me.
I urge you to call the numbers you have for help today. The woman in AA. Anyone in recovery. Start today.

I was a binge drinker, but the binges started getting closer and closer together.
Wisc, I hope you get the help you need.
I was told that its best to look for the sames, not the differences.
Can I ask why feeling sick is stopping you from phoning tonight? I understand the fear - I had to phone my temporary sponsor for the first time ever today, and it was so hard. I did it though, even though it physically hurt. I've realised that to stay sober I have to be willing to do anything.

I'm not frustrated with you either wiscgirl 
. I'm glad you take the time to post and reach out. You've gotten some good responses and advice hun... time to act. I think the post by thiskidknows? was especially helpful... seek some treatment for this trauma before it causes MORE to you.

Sorry to hear what happened.
You've been posting here for a few weeks now and have received LOTS of advice and suggestions on what you need to do about your drinking. It's time to act or this isn't going to be the last you may end up in this situation, or probably worse. Sorry to be harsh, but you know the answer and what you need to do. Better get with it before it really is too late.
I hope only the best for you.

To Karim.....Yes. I can feel it. You are all so wonderful.....
To Odaat...I guess because I just do not feel like talking on the phone. I dont know the lady yet and I dont want to call when I am tired and hung over... Plus Im not worried that I will drink anytime soon or anything like that.
I feel like crap. I still dont have my phone. My friend didn't get back to me about what I told her happened last night so now will probably have to wait to hear from her tomorrow. Also I chose the day that I have to work a double shift (worked 7 to 3, now again from 6 to 11 p.m.) to be hung over. Ugh. I feel so depressed. I have brushed my teeth and still can taste his nasty smoke breath in my mouth. Disgusting.
