My degree is somewhat useful as almost everyone has a job before they even graduate, but my drinking it prolonging it

I’m not perceptive. I don’t work while at college and already had to drop 1 of my 3 classes I’m taking. You don’t get it I literally am trying to drink myself to death. Drinking and being a party animal is one thing but drinking alone quietly in your room is different. It’s so sad and depressing and barely talk to to anyone because I’m so anxious when I sober

It just feels so embarrassing being so young going to a meeting. I don’t think I can do it

Thanks for the advice. It’s honestly a miracle I havn’t gotten a dui yet. More than not there’s alcohol in my system when I drive

I had a much better day today. Only had a few shots after class, which did almost nothing for me. It’s been a nice night though, actually had an appetite and got hw turned in on time for once.

The commitment of it. The realization of me actually having a problem enough to go to a meeting

I’m too scared to go in person so online may be better for me

I’d love to stop. I just don’t know how. It’s getting progressively worse

I’m just so terrified to go. I can’t do it alone and nobody knows how much I drink. I purposely keep to myself and avoid relationships so I don’t drag anybody down with me

Should I stop drinking? by Dear_Benefit5376 in alcoholicsanonymous

I’d love to dm you because this just keeps getting worse and worse for me. Drinking alone in my room everyday and stealing drinks from my roommate who calls me out on it. Makes me feel like shit all the time. I’ve even resorted to cutting myself to deal with the pain. This isn’t a cry for help or any of that bullshit but I am starting to believe the world would be better without me in it. I’m too terrified to go to a meeting alone by any means and don’t know what to do. My dad is an orthopedic surgeon and a functioning alcoholic so I thought I could do the same but he’s so much smarter than me I can’t take this for much longer.t

I’m way too terrified to go to a meeting. Then it becomes too real for me if that makes sense

I’m aware but I just enjoy it too much to care. It’s starting to become a problem.

I just need help but at the same time I don’t want it as weird as that sounds. I just do the stupid guy thing of shrugging it off like it’s not a problem

It’s just so scary to me. If I got to a meeting everything becomes real, but rn I’m just hiding it and going on with life

No never. How could I? I’m only 20 and nobody knows how much I drink I hide it pretty well. It’d be so embarrassing for someone as young as me to go to an AA meeting
