Why am I only happy when I'm drinking?

It's only quarter to one and I wanna start already.

OK, you've probably heard this a few times before but I think it bears repeating:

1. Depending on alcohol to elevate a mood can mean a whole host of things including you may have a genetic predisposition making you especially vulnerable to addiction. You could be seriously depressed.

2. If you have the pressing need to drink [b][i]frequently [/i][/b]then most likely you are addicted.

3. If either #1 or #2 are true, you are an alcoholic.

You deserve happiness in your life that is not connected with dependencies. You also deserve to find folks or organizations that treat you with respect in treating the addiction such as Alcoholics Anonymous and doctors and therapists with training to provide help . . .

[b][c=#800000]provided you have reached a point in your life you want help and willing to go get it.[/c][/b]

Best of luck to you!

@lily88mercy I am depressed, but I'm not trying to be self pity-ing. I usually see a counselor during the semesters at school so if I don't get better I'll bring it up.
And thank you
