I am an alcoholic, i'm only freaking 21 years old, and i'm already addicted. i wouldn't admit it before but in the past week, everyday during the day i have gone through severe withdrawal. for a long time i just thought that i was addicted to the idea of drinking, basically mentally addicted, but the withdrawal shows me that i am physically addicted. it's the same feeling i get when i miss my meds for more than 2 days, it's the same feeling i got when i would try to quit smoking, it's very familiar to me. there's only one big problem. it's fine and dandy that i will admit to my addiction, but i don't know if i actually want to stop. for almost 2 years i refused to admit that i was bulimic, i refused, but even after i finally admitted to it, i still did it, i was still bulimic, but i was just more aware of what i was doing. plus, i want to be a normal 21 year old, be able to go to a party and get shit faced drunk, but i can't just do it once in a while, so if i actually do something about this, i won't be able to go to a party and drink with my friends, i doubt i could go to a party at all. i missed out of my childhood and my teenage years were a living hell, i just want to be normal now that i'm an adult. normal for my age i should say. so, i took the first step, i admitted it, but i just don't think i'm ready to take that next step yet???

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I can comepletely relate to you. I too this week started to realize that I am also physically addicted to alcohol. I also though missed out on so much of my childhood and teen years that the idea of not being able to go out and party and have good time like my friends and other people my age just sucks. I know I am out of control though because of something that happened recently where I almost hurt a very close friend to me due to my drinking. I am starting to realize that the addiction doesnt want me to quit but deep in my heart I do. The cost is starting to not be worth it anymore. I just am coming to this revelation the past 24 hours. I am not completely there yet either but I think at some level it becomes a choice of the will, and just doing what you know in the long run is the right thing. I completely agree too with the thought that we are so young. My very first thought was "holy crap I am only 24 years old! This cant be happening to me I am so young." I know that feeling and thought well. Anyway I am here for you any time you want to talk about anything. No matter what decision you make. Good Luck to you!
