Alcoholic?

In essence, I am a changed person. I have experienced something I consider traumatic others would agree. The importance of my life and my future depends on my choices. The choice to share a bottle of E&J whiskey with two guys Saturday night was a wake up call. It stopped being fun when I forgot periods of time, when I passed out and then woke up on the bathroom floor, when I laid in my own vomit or when I scared my sister to the point of no return. By then anyone present had seen a side of me that was both embarrassing and haunting. I'm scraed of the person I've become over the last couple of years. Is there ever a rewind button where I can just erase and possibly forget about this? Or will this random Saturday night along with my family's history of alcoholism be with me forever?

 

Comments will be greatly appreciated.

Keep it simple, like in the movie "Meet the Robinsons" and just 'keep moving forward'. Use past mistakes as something to learn from. Don't let what other people do be a burden on you. You're a unique indivdual and can learn from observation of others. Get involved with good things to occupy your time, like volunteering for a good cause. If you need to, talk to a counsellor. No shame in that game.

i have a history of family alcoholism.
if you belive you will be an alchouic then you will be an alchoholic.
if you belive you can get through this and you can stop the urges to drink to the point of scaring yourself then you defiantly can.

i had a point of where i relized i was an alcholic. and im defainty past that.
drinking along with drugs is such a waist of time. the occasional getting drunk is tottaly fine. just as long as you know you can fight the urge to drink like an idiot.
:) i hope i helped in any way.

Well having a family history of alcoholism does put you at a big risk of being a alocoholic but doesn't mean that you will be one. People choose to drink but don't choose to be addicted, addiction is a disease. Develop a way to drink more moderately not to get complete trashed and try not to give into the pressure from others to drink more.

There is no rewind button to change this. If your behavior is having drastic changes due to drinking alcohol, you may want to think about what it's doing to you and your family. The only way to fix the mess is not getting into them by staying sober.
If you think alcohol is a problem for you there are places to go, just check under alcoholism in the yellow pages, it will have a list of places you can go.
Once you have crossed the line from social drinking to alcoholism there is no going back to social drinker. It's like making a pickle from a cucumber, it won't be a cucumber ever again.
Only you can decide if alcohol has become a problem to you and if you wish to live sober. Changing from alcohol to something else like marijuana won't make matters any better either.
i am and alcoholic addict along with my whole family. i think you just need to keep all of that in mind next time you want to drink. also you can go to an aa meeting and see if you feel you really have a problem or not
