It sounds like the answer to the problem is in the question. "I can't stop drinking.I drink and never get drunk". You are obviously an alcoholic and have built up a tolerance to it. Are you concerned about your physical welfare or are you disappointed because alchohol is not doing it for you anymore. Do yourself a favor coming from a recovering alcoholic...get in a program and get SOBER before you blackout and don't remember how you got home or worse yet who you killed on the highway driving. Don't be a statistic and don't make us one. GET HELP. Call 411 and get to AA mtg. now!!! Don't wait until your bottom falls out first...who knows you may not have one at all if you don't seek help SOON.

First of all, never get really drunk at a bar again!;) Secondly, I think you should shower, go to a dr to get tested for STD's, then relax and know that it wasn't exactly your fault that this happened (other than the fact that you got wasted)....alcohol makes people do things they would never normally do. Your main concern right now should be to get checked out by a physician to make sure you haven't contracted anything. Then, if you are okay, just try to move on from this episode. WHen you were drunk you didn't realize what exactly happened, and it is like a bad dream. If you look at it that way, then you might be okay!\nGOOD LUCK! My main advice: NEVER GET THAT DRUNK AGAIN!

I drank everyday about for something like 20yrs the pressures of raising a daughter alone I guess and everyone told me I was a alcoholic and I couldn't stop on my own.  But one day I did I just stopped because I acually have no desire to drink.  I think it has been 10yrs now I really don't keep track.  I could drink now if I wanted to but I just don't want to.  There is nothing about drinking alcohol that I find attractive or desirable.  I don't care if other people do but there really not pleasant to be around.  It amazes my friends because they thought I would probably drink my self to death.  They were wrong.  Now I quit smoking after 35 years I think thats a little tougher, you really have to put your mind to it.

You absolutely have a drinking problem.  So do your 'friends'.  If you want to 'save yourself', and it sounds like you do, you must get new friends.  These 'friends' will take you down with them.  You definitely sound like you have the intelligence, courage and determination to be your own man (this is also called 'leadership').\n\nTake charge of your life.  Make the changes you know you need to make.  Move forward and do not look back.  That is the 'way of a winner' and you sound like you have what it takes to be a winner.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

My first answer is for you to tell someone you feel comfortable telling.  You may only be 13, but you can very well have an addiction that can last a lifetime.  I too, had alcohol addiction at 13.  I stopped drinking at 16 when I married and had my first child.  I wish that I would have asked my parents for help to stop.  Only you can make the decision to quit or to continue.  I tried to quit many times.  My friends didn't even know how much I drank. I am a Christian and I will be praying for you. I hope that is OK. My final answer is there is nothing wrong with you that is not wrong with many of us.  Always love yourself.

sure sounds like a drinking problem's probably the 'real' problem. He sounds inhibited, and the drinking at least for a time lowers his fears, nervousness, insecurity, inhibition, guilt or whatever levels ... addictive behavior...do you honestly believe that your honest feelings are at fault? Sounds difficult, complicated...and, perhaps, getting worse. Whether he's having 'commitment phobias' or just expecting you to do as he says, or whatever he's perhaps not discussing, he sounds 'out of control', but he wants to 'be in charge'...something in him might be feeling ashamed, low self-esteem/image, and, he's demanding that you follow his routine, with implied not much room for spontaneity, let alone you feeling love(-d), safe (at peace, unperturbed) and valued -- but, how can he value you, if he's troubled about who he is -- or, why else drink/escape, and then try to use sex with such timing, like drunk clockwork. It sounds like your feelings are good, clear, trying to communicate...your feelings are innocent, your true companions/guides...BEST WISHES...in finding (out) your way(-s)

Your words are exactly what I am dealing with myself. However, I have been self-medicating with alcohol to deal with this anxiety for over 10 years and I now have a serious problem. I thought I would never overdo it but I have as time has gone by ... I am now seeking treatment and wish that I would have pursued other options for my problem. A therapist of mine had great words ... medication - no matter in what form only covers up the underlying problem. Working through the problem and understanding it is the only answer.

Lay off the drinking cause you are aparrently adversely affected.  A mad drunk is no fun to be with and it makes many nervous.

Interesting! I don't think modereate alcohol consumption can affect "performance" so I would suggest seeing a doctor about it! Are you sure you are not under a lot of stress at the minute?

You need to face your real problems.  Rehab won't work unless you are willing to look at yourself and why you want a drink.  Keep a journal.  Write down what happened just before you felt you had to drink.  Keep this journal for awhile and you will begin to understand what your real issues are.  In rehab or counseling, we are asked to confront our issues but no one really helps us know what these issues are.  We can't confront what we dont know.  The journal helps you to understand what upsets you.  The journal identifies triggers that make you want to drink.  Also see a nutritionist about proper diet.  It is amazing how a lousy diet can contribute to a drinking problem.  Also drink 8 glasses of water a day to cleanse your system of the toxins you are putting in by drinking alcohol.  Go back to rehab with your journal.

Your level of activity. Amount of liquid intake.  These are just a couple of possibilities. And how frequent is "frequent"? Do you have uncontrollable urges or accidents? If so, you had better see a doctor soon.

You need to find an A.A. counselor, not someone to get drunk with.  Get help now.

I spent some time (months) in a recovery center and many subsequent AA meetings and it was hammered into my head that it was hereditary even though I have no alcoholic family members. It also was hammered into my head that there is no cure and that you will always be alcoholic once you become one... even if you quit drinking for years and years. Turns out my alcoholism was triggered by my depression. Once the depression was fixed, the alcoholism went bye-bye. It's been a year and a half now, and there are no cravings or desires to drink anymore. My point is simple, if you think you might be depressed, avoid alcohol at all costs... it will kill you. It almost killed me. Thank God I found my way out of that miserable depression and no longer want or need to escape.\n\nThat being said, if you think you have an addictive personality or are genetically predisposed, you might want to be super careful when it comes to drinking, because it really can be powerfully addictive. Many of the patients in therapy were related to users. I remember the counsellor saying that alcohol is just as addictive as heroin if not more so. Take that for what it's worth, you probably don't want to be tempted to go down that road. Besides, there's so much more to life than partying. Too bad, it took a close brush with death for me to realize that.\n\nThere are some pretty good answers here... kvh's is among the best. Unfortunately, "doctor's" is not one of them. \n\nHope this helps.
