I am so close to being chucked out of school and my home. I turned to drinking last year when I was 15. I was just hangin with some mates and they offered me some drink, earlier that day my girlfriend admitted she cheated on me and i really loved her. It broke my heart so I took the drink and thats where my life went down hill.

I was so pissed i did not want to go to school as i knew she was there. So I kept skipping school, kept on drinking and just feeling like life was not worth living.

Under my eyes were going really dark, my mum started recieving phone calls and letters from my school saying I was never in, she confrunted me and i pushed her away.

Now she is on her last straw, I do believe that i feel like i can not go a day without alcohol, i really want to get my act together but i feel i have gone too far and i do not want proffessional help.

My mum is warning me saying if i do not go to school i will be kicked out but i have not been in there for nearly a year and i dont want to show my face around there, i look like i am on drugs but i can assure you i am not taking them and i just look a mess.

I really need help on how to get myself out this situation before it is too late, so please help me i beg you all!

It seems to me that you know the solutions to your situation but you don't seem to want to do them.

Drinking needs to end to get your life back on track.. It seems that you have created such a dependency on alcohol... that it just has got to end... and if it requires proffesional help.. do not wimp out or come up with excuses.. If you truly want help you will get the help you need.

You need to talk to your mother about your issues and look at the possiblity of transfering to a new school?

And overall you need to have a will to succeed in this... Change can only come if you're willing to work your ass off for it.

Please PM me if you need help... I'll try my best.. But I must ephasis the need for you to end the alcohol...

well you should confide in some friends that you trust and just tell them how you are feeling, as it always helps to have support close by, so when you feel like you need a drink you can just phone then or something.

Writing your reasons may also help, i mean:
Whats my current status?
why do i want to drink?
Is this what i really want?
Would i regret it later?
Can i talk to someone or do something to keep my mind away from the tempation of drinking?

Then once you have answered these questions, you should then be able to make a valid judgement if drinking is good or bad, at your current staus.

I agree with thee poster's here. I would try counseling even though you don't like it, and I'm sure you should consult your friends how you feel.

It kills brain cells.

Drinking isn't good for you.. No matter how made you were or get. It messes with your brains and you definitely don't want that. Like was stated, Talk to your Mom about the situation and try to seek advance help to make sure you don't star off as a bum at the age of 16/17 however old you are.

Ask your mom for help. Try your hardest to quit drinking. Drinking doesn't solve problems, all it does is make it worse.

you NEED professional help.I know its hard,but you just need to stop doing what your doing.You could be homeless,man.Think of THAT before you pick up a drink

think of this- she's enjoying her life and look at you- what have you become of? isn't it unfair that you're the only one who suffers? i honestly think that you should be tougher, man. not just physically but emotionally. happiness is a choice which sometimes requires an effort.

maybe, i'd suggest you prove to her that she's not a loss but you're her loss.
