Too young to be new to this.

Well, I'm 17 and have severe addiction problems. I used to be into anything that got me messed up that I could get my hands on. At this point, I still drink and can't kick cigarettes.

I've been trying to do this on my own, but I was getting minimal support from my friends, and have a hard time saying no at parties. (Which I refuse to stop going to) I tried doing the whole 12 step thing, but it's not for me.

I'm just glad to be here.

Hi and Welcome,

For me, I had to make a lot of changes in my life when I decided to stop drinking. It meant choosing different friends and activities.

I'm glad you're looking for support. There is lots of that here.
