Alcoholism is a serious thing. It's not a joke. Not only does it affect you mentally, but the physical abuse it causes is what ultimately kills you. It may seem normal to some of you to drink until you pass out, but that is your FIRST sign that you have a PROBLEM.

You can NOT substitute a bad habit with another bad habit. That's ridiculous. Any habit can be broken. No if and's or but's. ANY habit can be broken given the correct set of circumstances. If you can't do it on your own, then by God you should ask for professional help. That is what they do. That is what they have EXPERIENCE in. You don't ask your drinking buddies to help you. It's not smart to replace a bad habit with another bad habit. You will need to replace your dependancy with something else, but it should be more constructive. MJ is just as addictive as alcohol, and ILLEGAL to boot. So now, not only would you have to worry about dependancy, but also worry about getting busted too. How's that smart? Replace that bad habit with something that will benefit you as well.

To be perfectly honest, you haven't hit rock bottom yet. Until you do, you will have a hard time quitting. Why? Because you still are looking for shortcuts, easy fixes, have excuses, and generally don't understand the physics of the problem. I've seen alcoholics first hand. It is a corrosive disease. Besides the physical side of it, it actually hurts people around you just as bad if not worse than even the abuser themselves. Remember, the abuser doesn't quite see what all the fuzz is about. They haven't convinced themselves that what they are doing is totally wrong, so therefore in a sense they are just fine and dandy while the rest of the loved ones are left to agonize over it.

Anyway, I'm going to get off my soapbox now. If this thread is true and you are the way you're describing yourself, you need to seek PROFESSIONAL help to get over your problem. DON'T turn one bad habit into TWO. Suck it up and fix the problem. It's not yet terminal, but it could easily be. You're young and have time to repair the damage. Be smart and use that time constructively, because you could easily wake up 20 yrs from now with permanent damage to your body and then it would be too late. I hope you realize that.

Julio hit it right on the head in a way. This is both mental AND physical. Resolve the physical thing FIRST. Your body has a PHYSICAL dependancy for alcohol. Resolve that first and then address the psychological side. It's not easy, but it can and has been done a million times.

I hope you take it seriously and get it done. :goodjob:

As for an update... Tursday I drank about a 6pk and smoked. Friday I drank a 40 and smoked, Saturday I drank about 15 and became beer pong champion and did not smoke, Sunday I drank about 5-6 in the early afternoon, and smoked at night. To be honest, it does work. After I smoke I go strait to bed. The problem is I reminded my self that Im not a big fan of weed. I smoke, I get high and can stare at the comp screen for 30min. I cannot communicate when high, I can not drive a car, I get paranoid someone will be in the kitchen 2-3am so I stay trapped in my room etc... Which all makes me go to sleep. It works, but I smoked the last of it last night and rather then picking up some more, im just going to go get me a nice cold 12pk. So who ever picked answer 2 or 4 won the poll. I'll give the weed smoking another shot some other time, but right now Im going to grab me a beer. I have another plan that I want to try also. Im gonna buy a mountain bike and ride it at the Kennesaw trails. This plan will make me fit, and make not want to drink because of a beer belly aswell as I would be tired and go to sleep.

lol beer pong champ ftw yo!!!!!
