hey need advice
Hello my names Caleb and I'm 18 and I have been drinking since I was 15 more heavily than ever now I would consider my self a binge drinker and once I start I can't stop at all I realize this because 2 nights ago I drank a whole bottle of vodka and a 12 pack and was absolutely hammered (tho that won't happen again I hope)
I really get crazy I came home and fought my brother cussed my mom and fell down the stairs twice when I was drunk I got a concussion bruised ribs and broke nose and to top it all off i had a seizure and i probably have a warrant out for my arrest I'm really stopping I'm tired of waking up the next night feeling ashamed of myself because I always end up doing something terrible I'm not a bad guy it just seems I change when I drink and need advice anything?

Hi and welcome Caleb 
That all sounds pretty full on.
you'll certainly find support here...have you considered something like a face to face recovery group, like AA? (there are others too)

Caleb, you're right, alcoholism isn't a character defect, it's a disease.
I'm glad you know that you need to stop the downward spiral and change your life. We are here to offer support.

Caleb,you have no idea. When I was 18 I was the SAME way. I wouldn't drink daily but when I would drink it would be so terrible. I mean I still don't know how I didn't kill myself back then. I'm 23 years old now and the drinking progressively worse. Daily drinking, bad bad drinking. I don't want that to happen to you. You really need to get this taken care of.. go to AA. It's hard to do when your young cause some people don't take you seriously but it is DETRIMENTAL that you stop NOW. Know that you CANT drink. Don't think oh I'll stop until I turn 21 because this cycle will start all over again.
These are supposed to be the best years of your life don't waste them like I did. Caleb my heart aches for you because i've been there. You can do this. Just know everytime you say no to a drink you will feel wonderful. It gets better and maybe get a new group of friends.
Post on here if you need support! This place is great.
