I don't want to depend on alcohol, what should I do?
I could really easily become alcoholic at this point in my life. I have no job, I am depressed, and every time I drink I feel much better. The only thing stopping me from being alcoholic right now is will power. And the fact that I feel crap the next day after drinking. But I don't see any other way to feel happy these days. I had a dream not long ago of an old alcoholic man walking into my home staring blankly with a bag of beers in his hand. Scared the **** out of me. I don't want to end up like that.

Be dependant on Jesus? Yeah...OK, an imaginary being will help you.
If you have the will power all respect to you. Only you can help yourself. Stick to your guns...make the change...stop drinking if that's what you want.
Find a hobby.
Be dependant on Jesus. Because He already knows your sitiuation before it even happens and because of His mercy and grace He's giving you the will power to not give in to such a bad and unconstructive disease. I challenge you to pray and ask the Lord to take away the negative desires that you have and ask the Lord to lead you to the people that you need to be around during this time of challenge for you. Pray for the type of job you are needing and wanting and trust that He will do it for you. God wants a closer more intimate relationship with us and this is a great opportunity for you to get to know Him in a special way.
stop drinking completely and also instead of complaining about whats wrong and all the bad things that are happening just do something about it and try to make the situation better
try watering down your alcohol
do something more thrilling...go sky diving or bungy jumping, something extremely fun..
Don't drink it's very easy for drinking to turn into a habit.
