When that finally stops working for you, I hope you can muster up the humility to ask for help. As a recovering alcoholic I can tell you that it definitely will stop working at some point - it might take another twenty years, during which you will not grow up, you will damage your health, and you might wreck a relationship or two and some cars. Hopefully you won't kill anyone along the way.....

I was "smart in school" too, even though I was drinking to excess in high school. It took years of struggle, pain, and emotional turmoil before I was able to begin to live a healed life. I wish you a better voyage down that road than I had....and it's good to hear that this sort of use and abuse might be levelling off.....

Matthew,
My son was also smart in school. He graduated from high school and then college, drinking and doing one drug or another throughout. When he graduated from college and seemed to be moving away from his partying ways, he went to a 4th of July party, took one OxyContin and drank a few beers. He died that night in his sleep from respiratory depression caused by the OxyContin and undoubtedly the mixture with alcohol. The pain that I, his mother, and his other family members have endured these past two years cannot even be described. And it will never end. I
know my son figured that he too was smart, had graduated college etc. and nothing bad would ever happen to him. But it did. He died. If he had even a tiny thought of the pain this would cause his family maybe he would have looked differently at his choices. If not for yourself i hope that you will look at your choices and your life from the viewpoint of those who love you and make different choices before it is too late.

I lost my familly and friends to drug addiction, and yes I did good in school for the first 2 years of college, but then I dropped out and later formed a familly which was broken to my addiction. I hope the same thing soenst happen to you. I hope that you are the type that learns from others mistakes.

why is considered a drug

i do you worthless piece of shit people die because alcoholics like you don't know how to act safely and responceble so don't come with this crap saying who gives a shit
