Am i depressed, or just a waster?

Question

i had to move out of my house share late last year due to my mates not payin their share of the rent, and since ive been living in a caravan in my dads back garden. i cant seem 2 get a place as i have a medium sized dog. this didnt bother me to start with because my dad says i can stay as long as i want, rent free. ive smoked marijuana since my teens (im 26) but over the last few months ive started drinking quite a lot too. its got to the stage that if i dont drink 4 or 5 cans of stella and smoke a spliff before bed, i wont sleep (i just keep going over stupid things in my head) i havent had a gf in 4 years and ive lost contact with most of my mates. i tell myself not 2 buy beer on the way home from work but if i do manage not 2, i just cant sleep (i might get 4 hours if i try the same the next night) sometimes i think it all ecause of my situation but ive got a good job and a car thats paid for so it aint all bad. maybe i am just a junkie/alcoholic. what do you think?

Answer 1

hiya =)       I don't think anyone could be a waster. You need to keep your life full, and use every second of it. Find something to take your mind off drink, a good way is to meet people and friends, and never sit down unless you have something to sit down about!. so if you have had a good 2 hours of exercise or doing something productive, then you deserve to sit down. plan your day ahead of you,  and most of all enjoy your life! my dad is a alcoholic and i hate him. so turn your self around and get along with everyone.     good on ya for thinking about what you can do and asking people =)

Answer 2

Darling..You are an alcoholic. You have a definite addiction. How you are going to deal with it now is a choice you can choose to make. Give yourself a pat on the back for the fact that you recognize that you need to change and that you have a desire to stop. You can't do this alone. How do you get help? I would check if you have an AA (alcoholics anonymous) in your area. This should be a good start to find out how to change. I don't know if you are in another country or the United States. Either way they are an international organization. Open the below link to check it out. Please for your health and for your future life. The help you will get will also help with your drug issue also.

Your not a junkie. You are a person who needs help with an addiction who is lonely and has pain inside who is trying to fill it with things that will take the pain away. The help is out there for the taking... go out and get it!!
