Hello everyone. I guess this is the first time im admitting this. I think i have a problem. I guess i always thought it was stupid to say i did, because im only 22 and im just partying just like everyone else. The thing is my body hurts sometimes, and when i wake up more than that my spirit is broken. I feel horrible for the things i do when im drunk, be they sexual, or just large arguments with my best friends over shit i dont understand because im too drunk to understand. I regret everything in the morning and i dont want to do that anymore. I have been drinking since i was 12 and ill be 23 next month. the time of day gets earlier and earlier. i usually drink early so when i go out to a club i dont spend all my money on drinks.. like i prep myself. i want advice. i want to get this out atleast. i dont know if im the kind of person that should be in aa. im just confused. i feel like i have wanted to stop drinking before and well i always end up doing it anyway. my roommates drink, all my friends drink. i dont know what to do. i seem to have more fun drunk. i like to dance, hangout. i guess i feel like maybe i could get it under control to have a few drinks and stop. so i didnt have to give up all together. im a lost person right now.. but i do know i dont wanna wake up feeling horrible anymore.

If the drinking is starting to negatively affect other aspects in your life, then it really is an addiction. Some people really need to stop drinking totally, others can get by with controlling how much they drink. It depends where you fall in the mix. You've come to the realization that you regret the way you act when you drink heavily. If you have the will power to cut back, then you'll be happier for it. Too much of anything isn't good, moderation is key.
