Do I seem like an alcoholic or a wannabe to you guys?

[Anonymous]

Okay, in the past even to this day, I've drink and drink so much alcohol, by tomorrow, today is Tuesday and since Wednesday last week I've drink 28 shots of vodka, one week I drink 30 shots, mainly of hard liquor, and also some beer. I think I'm really addicted to Alcohol, but everyone I know said I'm not, I considered myself an alcoholic but my relatives said I'm a wannabe, but they don't really know how my drinking habits works.
A couple times I've drink up to about 10 cans of Busch Light, times I would drink three cans of beer and then three to four shots of Tito's vodka, I don't even know how many times I been drunk, but I'd say close to 200 times, and lord knows how many shots throughout the past three years to now, I been drinking since 18, now 21 about to be 22 in August, the buzz really makes me feel better but in an unhealthy way, I have diarrhea constantly on mornings and nights I had drink on, occasionally there's some blood too. I know based on my research this is cause by excessive drinking. The most shots I gotten up to in a day was six shots of vodka as early in the morning as 3, and then later by 1 in the evening with seven beers. Remember this was all in one day. What you guys think?

If you can't stop or rather if you tell yourself you don't want to stop but don't really have a good reason, if you drink to "feel better", the fact that you have health problems and don't stop, especially with blood in your stool (aka liver damage)... Yeah you're an alcoholic. Welcome to the club amigo! It's time to get some help. Better now early before later when well... You have to force yourself into recovery or your health/court does. Trust me. I was drinking since I was 16 up until 16months ago. It gets better. There's therapy. And a whole ton of people that want to help.

I do not know if you are an alcoholic but you do drink excessively. If you are getting blood in your stool youare bleeding internally. You may have an ulcer. You need to stop drinking. Either do it yourself or seek help.

If the people around you are calling you a "wannabe" because they think that you're not drinking enough, that's a sign that you live in a toxic environment.

I kinda agreed with ya. My mom, she knows I drink like I said, I live with her and I take her beer all the time because I can't help it. I'm addicted because of the buzz alcohol gave me. I haven't drink since Wednesday last week. Mainly because sometime after waking up several hours after passing out due to my last drinking hour (I drank six shots under an hour to an hour and 20 minutes) I had bloody diarrhea, fortunately this was temporary, I don't have diarrhea nor blood in my stool since that day, matter of fact from my research of blood in stool you only need if you're over 40 and it last longer than at least a day, I'm almost 22 and it lasted for five hours at the least. My mom never bother sending me to a therapist or a counselor that specializes in addictions, all she does when I drink my stepdad's vodka or her beer, is just send me up to my room, she doesn't care if I'm an alcoholic or not, NEVER, she just told me go to my room just because I'm stealing, and she knew I drink 10 of her busch light cans in one day, TWICE, hell like one guy mentioned on here, he never drink that much in a short period like 35 or 36 shots in 8 days. A binge would only drink at least 10 shots a week, just two day for five of the shots of whatever to do with alcohol. My brother who said I'm a "Wannabe" doesn't bother helping me, he used to be an alcoholic and doesn't wants to be involved. I even texted him drunk several occasions. He even said he never drink that much beer in a day.

I'm sorry, dude. It sounds like they don't understand at all. Props to you for recognizing the problem, though.

I know this isn't a permanent fix, but it may help some: Could you suggest that your parents store their alcohol in a locked cabinet?

[Asker]

My mom always leaves her beer in the fridge, times I take it, times I don't, more recently I leave it alone and paid attention to the vodka in the covers of our kitchen, my step-dad leave it in there all the time, they said they rather kicked me out than helping me, or send me to jail which I understand very well it's really their faults because one thing my mom leaves her beer in the kitchen fridge, she does have her pack of beer in one of our garages' fridge but leave it in a locked garage, I keep telling them both I can't help but drink the alcohol, neither doesn't get it, my step-dad still leaves the vodka in the covers without marking it, the only thing they do is send me up to my room like I'm a nine year kid, I'm addicted like you said they don't understand, they kinda already locked up their alcohol, not all of it, the vodka they still opened for me and the beer are in the fridge, hate repeating myself but they don't care either I'm sent to my room or get kicked out, no help from a professional at all.

[Jamie05rhs]

I'm sorry, man. :/

You may have to take it upon yourself. Have you thought about going to AA?
Also, have you thought about moving out of their house? It doesn't sound like it's a healthy environment for you.

[Asker]

Yes I had thought about moving out, honestly if I moved out I might be sober for awhile or it could be still going through the same old drinking problem. I'll have to see.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Asker Fair point.
However, at least you'd have a chance.
Right now it seems like you're living in an environment of perpetual temptation with no solution happening anytime soon.

I have never drank that much in that short a period. Heck, I probably haven’t drank that much over the course of the last year.

That’s not good man if you can’t handle it on your own staying away from it then seek out help
