I had recently come to the conclusion, with the advice and help of my best friend's mother, that I have a problem with drinking. Whenever I start drinking, I can't stop and won't stop till I'm vomiting, passing out, blacking out, or a combination of the three. I feel guilty about it the next day but then when it comes up that I'm able to drink, I forget all about the stupid s**t I do. I think I didn't assume this to be a problem for so long because I wasn't drinking every day. Practically drinking once or twice every couple of months. Although when I do I always go over board. It started when I was thirteen, when I had first gotten plastered by stealing beers from my older sister. Then it grew and grew as I went to parties and get together type things with my friends. The night before yesterday's was my epiphany. I puked, blacked out, and passed out at the said friend's mother's birthday party. That's not cool. Not cool at all. I ended up calling a self help line and talking to a really nice guy named Chris who went through the same thing I did. He told me his story and how he is now almost 4 years sober. When I asked what he thought I should do, he offered to cut alcohol out completely. He noticed that I tend to drink to have a good time, then take it to the extreme. I have to learn that being wasted doesn't constitute a good time. I can still have fun and be completely sober.
What I'm getting at is the hope that I'm not alone in this. That my addictive personality to binge drinking, among other unhealthy attributes and habits that I won't bring up in this thread, isn't uncommon or something unfix-able.

I'm sure you're not alone in this. It is definitely fixable. smile I hope that you'll get more advice from people who went through similar situation than you.
