I know I should stop drinking, I don't drink everyday buy can only go one day without a drink, I then convince myself I deserve, the little voice tells me , you deserve it , you work hard , I tried aa, but feel I didn't fit in as I don't black out, I don't drink into oblivion, but I do drink 7-10 bottles a week, I'm at the end of my tether and slipping back to depression fast !!!!

    I am the same. I love to drink, it makes me feel weightless and fun. I have borderline personality disorder and depression. I have a wonderfully supportive boyfriend but I find myself drinking about 2 bottles of wine a night. Tonight it's only 1 because I'm trying to cut down.

    I've recently started smoking too for that light headed feeling. I want to loose weight and look after my body.

    I've had a history of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Recently I've had a lot of stress but I never saw drinking as a problem, just a social thing that I enjoyed because it is fun.

    I feel like I've betrayed my boyfriend and friend's trust but I like to drink. Without alcohol I can't sleep well. I'm only 21 years old and 5"3, so it's easy for me to get to the tipsy stage.

    I want help. I've told my GP and university and they've put me onto the alcohol and drugs abuse programme. I currently take 100mg of Setraline for my depression. But other than being on their radar I don't recieve medical help rolleyes I am trying and the doctors had complications for 2 months in getting my antidepressants so I self medicated ;_; I feel like a failure but I also like to drink for fun rather than to get me through the day.

    I only drink late at night.

    I don't know what to do. I feel like I should be recieving help but I'm not getting it. Does anyone feel the same way? <3
