Fighting Alcoholism: I Want to Stop Drinking Alcohol?
Question by Katie: I want to stop drinking alcohol?
Before anyone answers, I am NOT an alcoholic, I don’t drink vast amounts of alcohol, and I don’t do it often.
I am 18 years old (legally allowed to drink in the UK), and I don’t go out on nights our drinking or to house parties with lots of alcohol very often, but when I do, I seem to drink far too much. Either that or I just can’t handle the alcohol, and it leads me to get into tearful fights with my boyfriend and friends, be angry with people I barely know, and walking away by myself. I have had confidence issues linked to bullying in the past, and when I drink, these issues get brought up in my mind. I feel the only way to stop this happening is to stop drinking altogether, and limit myself to two drinks only on special occasions (Christmas, birthdays etc). I just need to know how to explain to my family friends and boyfriend why I am doing this, and how they can help me. Just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to make sure I stick to this?

If you find the answer there are millions of us alcoholics who want to know. All of us have tried and failed at drinking in moderation. I physically can NOT do it so i have to abstain. This is fulcrum of alcoholism “The first drink” (I know you don’t want to hear that… and i’m not labeling anyone as an alcoholic)
