I had had a really bad alcohol problem that I was fighting off pretty well until recently when I started drinking again. A lot of stuff has been happening in my life to cause me to start drinking again. The last time I had this problem it almost killed me, I am affraid this time it might.

Please give yourself a chance again. You have a lifetime of gifts to give. I know that hard times in your life may make you believe ou need to drink. But if you are willing to face the difficulties without a drink and let Jesus help you through it . You will discover just how wonderful it feels to succeed.
I will keep you in my daily prayers.
God bless, pickles

You really need an accountability partner! Preferably someone you know who hates the idea of alcohol altogether. 'Cause once they know you don't want to be drinking..they will keep on you and keep nagging you and you won't want to drink...or they won't let you. Or you could even find a friend of yours who wants to stop drinking as well...and you can nag each other! You also need to get in some good prayer time and Bible reading. It's not going to be easy...but everytime your stressed or whatever, instead of grabbing some alcohol...get down on your knees or grab your Bible. It'll really help! God can get you through this if you let him!!

And if worse comes to worse...and you really can't get better.. you could probably get someone to call on you for drinking underage? or call on yourself? I don't know much about that but I'd think they could get you into some rehab center or something can't they? Or just look up a rehab center in your area and admit yourself? They can help!

Sorry for that rant...just some tips I figured I'd share. I'll definitely pray for you though! Best wishes! God bless!
