    What a problem, Summer! I think a phone call or visit to Alcoholics Anonymous would be one place to start. You could call a Crisis Line in your area. (I think they're all around) Are you quite certain that you're an alcoholic? If you are, you need medical attention right away so that you can get your life going in the right direction. Many people do it. I wish you the best.

    Yes, Iam am alcolholic! I started drinking when I was 7 and Im now 42! For any young people reading this, don't make my mistake! Do you know how many years & tears that I've lost? Not to mention my health. I will most likely die, because my liver is shot!!!!!!! If you want to ask ANY questions about my alcoholism, I promise to answer them. There is nothing about it that you can't ask! If I saved just 1 person from this hell that I live in, maybe it may have been worth it. Believe it or not, that is the KIND of person I am. God bless all of you, and think twice before you put things into your body!

    Summer, at this time it looks like 71 people have passed this way and read your message. It was a strong warning and tempered with your kindness and good wishes. If they weren’t personally touched by the problem, chances are that someone in their family has that health problem.
    I came from a family of alcoholics so I do know some of the pain that comes with the disease. My dad and both his brothers lost their lives to alcohol. Two of my cousins are on their way. My mother didn’t touch it and I took my cues from her.Thank God.
    Summer, how did it happen that you started so young? Was alcohol given to you? Did you go around the morning after parties and sip? I just want to ... (((Summer)))
    Stay around. You’ve entered our lives. We do not want to lose you to the Internet. AKAqa is a place “Where people know your name” : )

    Is there no access to medical treatment whatsoever? Go to your local AA, look in your local papers for numbers, hope you get the help you need, good luck.

    If you go to ER they have to treat you or they should find a center to treat you. you need a 12-step AA program. AA is listed on the internet and phone book. You may have to go to a homeless shelter. Do not die from alcohol.                                                                                 

    You have the money to drink. Detox is free for those who can not afford it.

    That's an oxymoron comment, if ever I heard one.
    Please explain how one can get detox for free, when they have the money to drink, drugs or whatever it may be.
    Are you saying: when you run out of money, go to detox?

    No, I'm saying use the money they are spending on drink to go to detox. But if they truly can not afford to pay for detox (even with putting the money for drinking into the fund), there are free centers here in the USA. Start will the Salvation Army.
    I can't believe I had to explain this.....

    Colleen she needs Tough love not the poor mees Pour me another drink thats all what will happen oxoxox

    You need to get in touch with a crisis hotline to start getting help. You have a child who depends on you so please call someone,now!

    Alcohol is expensive.... How do you have the money to drink like that? Go to the ER... 

    You could try tapering off... Drink less and less each day until nil...But the others are right, go seek help, professional......

    CHAIN

    Not sure whether going cold is right jh, it's a bloody vicious cycle, mate.

    Just make up your mind and stop use your will power. If you don't the drinking will definately kill you . You can't be that drunk because you wrote this question which means your at least lucid

    Try the Salvation Army, WBMS


     


     







    Summer, this is a cry for help. Please call a crisis center. Surely they will help you. You are still young and I wonder if you had any kind of family support? Not that they could have stopped you from drinking, but trying to get you help a lot sooner.? Of course your liver will be affected, , but the liver is an amazing organ, it can reverse the damage done/ So please call a crisis center or an AA hotline. There is help out there.

    SUMMER I personally think you should see a GP who is specialised in this area.............and be honest to him/her, and if you don't feel comfortable, call a councellor.

    If you're speaking of the USA, there is little that a GP will do other than to recommend detox (with no guidance on how to do that) or AA. I think Summer knows what she needs, she just thinks she doesn't have enough money to pay for detox or is using "not enough money" as the excuse to keep spending what she has on booze.
    CHAIN

    Well maybe she has been dissapointed at the way the system works! I can't speak for USA, or any other country for that matter. But it is a war within oneself.
    Others who put you down have no place on this planet.

    Easy there Chain. I did not put her down or say the GP's would put her down.

    You are wrong however, everyone has a place on this planet, even the ones who put others down. To say they do not is overstepping the boundaries of God. God decides who has a place on this planet. Not Chain.

    Summer you know what I am going to say and you have probley heard all before get to AA and this is going to be tough love you know now what to do you have been drinking for long time its wonder you have a liver or not dead YET but there you Go the YET is coming up like it always does you know why I am talking to you like I am I have worked in NA and AA  and everyone is giving you the poor me s well you know what that does the poor me its POUR ME ANOTHER DRINK GET TO AA NOW!

    I have the perfect place for you. Its a 8 by 15 foot cell in prison. Because thats the only place you need to be. Its only a matter of time before you kill somebody or yourself. You are not going to get help outside of prison, or you would have done it. By the way you wont die from what you call a detox. Thats your body releasing all the toxins ,trying to heal itself.  At this time you are vitamin B and C deficient . Go get supplements now. This will be a good beginning to assist you in feeling better.  You can get better , i wish you a good future.  Oh, why i know this,  i went through same problem with my sister.  I knew the district attorney and told him to lock her up She "detoxed " as you would say , in lock up.  So if you dont want to end up in a cell , stop the drinking right now. You can do it.

    Detoxing improperly can kill a person. Amy Winehouse died from quitting cold turkey. Her body went into massive shock and it killed her.
    Waiting for you to argue this too....
