hi, first step
i don't think i'm a alcoholic but cant handle drinking. i go out every weekend with different friends drinking making a fool of my self, I've lost heaps of friends because my personality has become unbearable. i'm living at home with my mother & father. my farther has a drinking problem & has a ugly personality. the things i hate about him are the things i'm starting to see coming out in my personality. would a quick fix be moving out of home?? turn off my phone or social life? etc

hiya,
sorry to hear your struggle, i agree with the others too - it does look like you are in denial - i was too. I'd go out and be mad - the only diff was i'd surround myself with people that only drank like me- i was too scared to drink with ppl who didnt- because i knew they'd think i was crazy!
I think you should speak to someone over the phone on A.A or atleast stick around here and see for yourself - look for the similarities not the differences. When i did this i realised i was. You can find you local A.A. phone number on the website i think- or direct enquiries. If u chat with someone there it's confidential and they can mb advise u further. I hope u continue to seek some support and help yourself. You've done the right coming here
