Being in the closet is turning me into an alcoholic...?!
im a 19 yr old guy who has had success with women in the past but am more interested in guys now!. its frustrating because im in the closet and cant be with the guys i want to be!. with all this stress and emotion i turn to drinking quite regularily!. what can i do!? coming out is not an option just yet and drinkings the only thing that makes me feel better!.!. i only drink heavily later on at night so its not like i go to school or work drunk!. its just at night when im home thinking about lifeWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Find someone to talk to about it!. Can you join a support group!? Or an online community!? Or talk to someone close, like a best friend, about it - and hopefully that will help you ease some of your pain!.
And honestly, I don't think being in the closet has anything to do with you turning into an alcoholic!.!. A LOT of people think that alcohol makes them feel better when they are depressed, it's not just you!. If I didn't have my experience to back my answer up, I'd just say "oh, if you're not hurting anyone, and it makes you feel better, then you should keep drinking", but you really don't want to continue down that path!. It's not going to help you in the long run & will probably make your life even more miserable!. Can you find something else you enjoy doing!? Or tough it out like those of us who don't use alcohol to make ourselves feel better when we're down!? Just remember that you'll get through it, however corny that sounds coming from someone you don't even know!. =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are wrong when you say that drinking is the only thing that makes you feel better!. I think you should find other things to turn to to make yourself feel okay!. Everybody has their own things that help them deal with emotions and stress, so your options are vast!.
Alcohol never makes things better, it will only progressively make things worse!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

ummm, yeah, don't blame your drinking on your gayness!.
Just be gay, and then drink!. Don't try to make a connection between the two!.
Many people are not in the closet and are acoholics too!. Not just you closet gays!.

Alcohol is never the answer!.
Find another way to cope!.
Alcohol will ruin your life!.
Coming out, even if you are not ready won't!. Not in the long run!.
BTW, if you are gay, just face it and you won't have such a burden!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
