    • Close Alcoholism

      i started having a problem with alcohol when i began drinking 9/10 percent beer regulary at 23. i was drinking in the mornings because i felt so bad from the night before. not a good idea. people can drink in moderation all there life with no problem. i wish i knew the harm kestrel super, tenants super, white lightning, vermouth, spirits etc was going to do.

    • Close Shyness

      i am 46 now and still painfully shy ? i took speed for a long time, it helped but i got hooked, the doc put me on valium to get me off speed which i allso got hooked on. the doc stoped the valium so i drank. i have had a drink problem for 20 years now. all because im shy ? i feel so alone sometimes i drink and do things that iwould'nt do when im sober because i feel cheated! then i stop drinking and have a guilt complex ! im not sure if a guilt complex is the same as being shy ?
