Welcome to SR mslock!

Probably won't die, especially if you see a doctor about detoxing!

Hi,

We can't give any kind of medical advice here.

It's always good to talk to your dr because detoxing from alcohol can be dangerous, but I do hope you decide to stop.

You may need to get detox but no you will not die. Drinking like that for 10 to 20 years will kill your liver and die from liver failure. Better off stopping now before you have real bad health issues.

Are you asking if you'll die if you quit? Or if you'll die if you keep drinking?

See a doctor about either. Alcohol is toxic to critical organs in the body. Don't let your age fool you into thinking "it can't happen to me"

Alcohol withdrawal can be deadly, that's a real fact.

I hope you follow up with your doctor, regardless of which path you take.

Do you want to quit drinking?

Again, we cannot give medical advice here.

The reason you used to be able to stop and you can't now is probably because you have crossed the invisible line to addiction. And, there is no going back. We are here to offer support.

We're all going to die eventually, but you'll more than likely die a lot later in life if you stop drinking I hope you talk to a DR. about detoxing as soon as possible, that's a lot for a petite girl such as yourself.

A lot of people drink until they die. I'm glad you're at least posting and thinking about this.

Did you get away from the boyfriend?

He also drank a lot more and a lot longer than you have. I believe that was the guy that was drinking about a gallon of vodka a day. He is a prime example of what it can become if you don't stop it now.

mslock, heavy people don't age well. They look older then what they are.
