I can't live like this anymore. Today I skipped school again because I was hungover. I feel so bad about myself. My anxiety is the worst it's ever been. I feel so lonely and lost. I used be a soft spoken sweet and nervous girl. Now I've done so many stupid things. I don't care about anything anymore. I hate the person I've become. I miss the old me. I'm only 23 I don't want to struggle like this for the rest of my life. I don't know what to do. I have no one to talk to. I feel so lonely.

You have come to a great place for support! I struggled with drinking for 40+ years and with the support from the helpful people here have finally managed to put alcohol out of my life. It is hard at first, but the more sober time you string together the easier it will become. My advice is to check in here often and stay strong. If you can give up booze at your age it will be a wonderful accomplishment and set you up for a long, healthy, sober life!

You are not alone. Alcoholism robs of our self-worth and everything that matters to us. And, it causes depression and anxiety. I'm so glad that you are ready to stop drinking. We do understand how hard this is.

It's always a good idea to have a plan for recovery and this link has a lot of recovery program information:

You aren't alone. Write me anytime you feel alone
The anxiety will only get worst if you don't quit drinking. I'm 35 and two month ago I had the worst anxiety in my life. I couldn't get out of the bed I felt like I'm going crazy. It took me three days to feel better. I realized if i want to get better I have to quit drinking, not for couple month, half year but for good, because each relaps gets worst. Now I'm trying to manage to stay sober, I'm starting to get false sense of security over alcohol and I know I don't want to go that route ever again. Pleaae stay strong, you are worth much more than this. ❤️

Hi BlackbirdFly93

SR helped me turn my life around - it was such a revelation to find people understood my problem and wanted to help me beat it.

I know you'll find a lot of support here as well

Hi Blackbird.

I was in my twenties when I started to realize I didn't drink like others. I experienced all the problems you listed, and when I quit drinking at 40, those problems were removed. There are solutions here, you're in the right place

Care about us, because we care about you.

There's a lot of wonderful people here, young and old, from all walks of life. The good news is, you're young enough to have a really awesome life from now on if you choose it. Work hard (on relationships, hobbies, everything), study hard, and realise who you want to be. Good things will happen.

My best advice, is to listen to Dee. He's got the heart and the links. There's literally hundreds of others here with great advice, but I promise you he's a great start.

Good luck, big hugs and best wishes.
