I'm addicted to alcohol, cigarettes and sex: help it is killing me?!


Question: I'm addicted to alcohol, cigarettes and sex: help it is killing me?
Hi, I am a 19 year old college student and I have an addiction to alcohol, sex and cigarettes. Alcohol, I noticed since January of 2010 that I've been over-drinking: this equals drinking alone, drinking 3x more than all the people i go out with, blacking out etc. Since I moved to a new city this fall, I am not making friends because every opportunity I have to go out with people and have a good time, I screw it up by being a drunken mess.

Also, the sex addiction is getting to me as I cannot control myself and constantly want it, with anyone and everyone. Does this have a connection to my alcohol problem? Probably. But it may be another psychological problem.

The cigarettes, I am not too worried about at least. I only smoke when I drink though, which in turn becomes ALL THE TIME since I am an alcoholic, apparently.

So can I ask you a few questions and please help me. I have only been able to admit these problems recently. And I want to know whether I can get over this by talking to a counselor of some kind, and also whether any of you are going through the same thing, because I need some support really badly...

Love,

Tiger

I'm 22 and have been sober and drug free for over a year. When I was 17 years old to 21 all I did was drink, do drugs, have a little sex, and smoke a lot of cigarettes. I went to an outpatient rehab center. Life is so much better now. If there are mornings you don't remember what you did the night before, or if you seem to have no memory anymore, or all that's ever on your mind is when you can drink again, then you need to do something about it. It's no way to live life. I know from experience. Search online for AA meetings in your area. I go to three a week. They're not what you probably think they are. Or else look for alcohol rehabilitation centers. There are plenty of young people in them. Best of luck to you.



You can start by going to AA meetings. I would think it would be best for you to see a doctor and have him admit you to a rehab. That is the only thing that has a chance of helping you.



My dad is and has been addicted to cigarettes alcohol, and he's fat and pathetic. Don't go down the same path <3



Rehab unfortunately



Give up those cigarettes; they're bad for you.



Just go to a rehab, best choice.
Please do so.
