Hello and Welcome Little Star
Well done on recognizing that alcohol is a problem at such a young age. I knew from my teen years that I drank differently from most of my peers, but I did not really recognize a problem until my mid-twenties. I went the AA route at the age of 28, and did not drink again, except for one horrific night, until I was 39. I used to come home all bruised, and banged up, with little memory of what had happened. The worst was when my kids would tell me what happened the next day. My kids are close to your age 20 and 21. I truly believe that I am lucky to be alive. I have been give so many second chances. They are bound to run out at some point. If this is your first time around, I just want to tell you that: Relapse is not a Requirement!! Many others have done it for you, and you can learn from our experiences. I wish you well as you begin your journey.
