i became an alcoholic at 19 to cope with r*pe. at AA meetings im usually the youngest and only black person there. i didn’t accept that i really had a problem until i got a public intoxication charge after fighting in a bar.
get the help u need we talk abt drug addiction but alcoholism is just as dangerous you can hurt others and urself.
i’m not in college yet but as we all know alcohol consumption among college students can get a bit ridiculous so during those years please pay a lot of attention to how you’re feeling and how you view alcohol because it’s possible to become an alcoholic at that age even though a lot of people make jokes passing it off as normal behavior and it can have a really bad impact on your life and grades basically don’t ever let drinking become more of a priority than doing well in school or being healthy and please take care of yourself
here are a few red flags that can indicate you have an alcohol problem
you feel as if you’ll be missing out if you don’t get drunk
you drink to alleviate depression, stress, anxiety, or other heavy emotional issues
you begin lying to others about drinking
you get antsy if you’re sober and are surrounded by drunk people
you continuously promise you’ll have “just a few” but end up absolutely shitfaced
you drink every weekend, even when you hadn’t planned to drink you end up doing it anyway
your start craving alcohol whenever you feel negative emotions like stress or anxiety
if you feel that you might have a problem, please seek help because alcohol addiction is a life-shattering issue
just moving along like everyone else
