i have a job and my boss called today and said that if i dont stop drinking and smoking im gonna lose my job.

my parents found out that i drink, smoke and pop pills and they CHAINED the fridge in which ive goten the drinks out of.

my grades are dropping without the boooze. with booze im a-b student
without it im lik b-c-d student

idk wat to do im trying to get my parents to understand my drinking and smoking and how much it holds me together. i wish theyd HELP me quit smoking instead of just MAKING me.

i have spoken to them about this and it resulted in a punch in the face and me attempting to run away.

im miserable in tthis house and i just want out
i hate it here and idk what to do about it.

HONESTLY what would you do?

Well, I'm not a cigarette smoker, I smoke weed and whatever, but iono if thats what you're talking about. I do however drink quite a bit, and the fact that alcohol is helping your grades, not only surprises me but makes me wonder how.

I can't say i'm in the SAME situation, because my parents don't know about my drug and alcohol use, but, one thing, its a horrible idea, you shouldn't rely on alcohol to handle things in your life, I can't say i'm not being a hypocrite, but you really should not be doing this, we're both way too young to be relying on it, but you should really just accept it. I do not support the idea of you continuing drinking for grades, instead, get them without, concider your grades dropping withdrawl, it'll go away eventually, and you could do it. Alcohol is not holding you together, its simply putting fake pieces in areas where they are unneeded, making other areas weaker. If that makes any sense to you.
So try to quit.

And how i feel about it, alcoholism is horrible, its a shit way to live, and I know that. I know how addicting it can be too the feeling is great and the things i can do when i'm not sober, but its horrible nevertheless. You won't get anywhere in life with alcohol.

I don't think it's the alcohol that's making your grades good. It's that you're not suffering from withdrawals, thus feeling crappy, and not wanting/having the ability to do work.

You're 13. You should not be drinking. That's all there is to say. You should NOT be drinking at this age. If my little sister 2 years ago told me she was drinking, even a little bit, i would have smacked her.

I drink underage. I'm in college, i'm in a fraternity, it's natural for me. I smoke as well, but i'm not underage. My first semester of college i drank a lot. My grades were okay. But i started drinking more and more and they fell. I loved the feeling. I loved the escape. I loved meeting people. I loved being stupid and perfectly okay with it. And then, i limited myself to weekends, maybe once every couple weeks on the weekdays, my grades improved.

Well, you already know what's going to happen. In fact, there shouldn't be a doubt in your mind. If you continue drinking at the rate you do, you'll lose your job. Your grades will eventually drop. Your parents will lose respect for you. You will lose privileges. You'll start to hate your life.

Stop drinking, atleast wait till college.

Drinking and smoking DOES NOT, i repeat DOES NOT hold you together. It's an escape for you, a temporary out from the pressures of life. But life is still there when you wake up in the morning with a splitting headache and a stomach that feels like it's being churned in a blender. At your age, you should be learning to cope with problems in a rational and healthy way, not turning to alcohol and nicotine. Because that's all your going to depend on for your whole life if you keep doing this now.

You don't need to ask your parents what to do: you know what to do. Once you actually do it, just watch how their respect for you will increase.

Why do you think you do these things? I know i'm lecturing you and i'm sorry. You should have a say in this as well.

If you need help quitting smoking, PM me -- talk to me. I'll help you out.

I agree with the above, smoking and drinking are going to end up leading you to bad spot in your life. Heavy drinkers have problems getting jobs, so once you don't live at home anymore, you may not be able to pay your way. My advice is just to slowly cut down on your cigarette and alcohol consumption slowly until you're at the point where it is easier to quit.

[Vzin]

one thing i CAN say is that ur definitley not alone. i know tons of friends who have very very similar problems both with drinking and smoking and parental issues

[Φρανκομβριτ]

sounds to me that you should just grin and bear it. Maybe you'll be better off without it. The lower grades are probably more of a result from depression of not having the alcohol, and not being able to conecntrate. BOOZE WILL NOT MAKE YOU SMARTER

Basicly what he said you shouldn't just stop. Take smaller amounts of the alcohol and cigarettes until its easier to quit. Drinking also destroyes the liver which is your poison filter. smoking destroyes your lungs and increases your chance of cancer in many areas around your body. You should quit as soon as you can and good luck at it. Oh ya you should get help from a councilar if you need help. Also look into a rehab program for the drugs you may have been taking or "popping". Look into the programs for quiting smoking to. Get your parents help and good luck in quiting if you are going to quit.

What is better than chain smoking, drinking beer, poping pills, smoking drugs?

everything.

So you gotta choose a fake impure life that will end up killing you prematurely.

OR NOT.

I have to disagree with everyone saying "just stop."
This may not be the safest option, if abusing these substances is what's getting you through the day. If your parents are punching you in the face, this is probably a bigger problem than your alcoholism.

[Uhh.Huhh RAN_DOM]

yah i mean i shoudn't be drinking either but i never rely on it and never do it on school nights , but what you need to is STOP IT!!! try to go to your nearest rehab center or talk to you doctor about it sorry if iam a bit hypocritical but yes this is bad and you don't need these things to rely on for your life.

[Mr. Smithers]

I only drink once every 4 weeks. And I'm not an alcoholic or anything. I only drink to calm myself down.

Same with smoking but I quit that. I would smoke for once a week or so for a way for calming myself down. But I would never rely on marijuana or anything in relations to that.
