I have a drinking problem. I am addicted to alochol and I need help. I can't do it anymore by myself. I just feel that I lost who I am. Does anyone ever feel like this? Someone help me.
You haven't lost who you are. She may be buried underneath your problems at the moment, but if you get the right help and support, and start dealing with your demons, she might be able to re-emerge.
As to how you deal with the alcoholism, I can't say, because there are so many different options and I don't know you well enough, or treatment options well enough, to make specific suggestions. Talk to your doctor about the options. It might end up being a combination of things that help you most.
Treatment and support groups. Really, addiction is hard no matter what the addiction is.
Do you have withdrawal symptoms? (tremors, sweats, etc.) If you do, you need to see a doctor and get a bed at a hospital or detox center because alcohol withdrawal needs to be monitored. It can trigger a heart attack.
I only say this because I used to work in the field of addictions treatment, not to scare you. But you need to seek help, professional help. Addiction's hard to handle and almost NO ONE can do it on their own.
You are not alone. There are so many people who have addictions that are beyond their control. You didn't lose yourself, Debbie. You are just trying to find happiness and deal with deep hurt.
I second the idea of AA and support groups. You will find people who understand your addiction there at the very least.

It's not a cure, but it helps so you don't have to "tough it out" while you're working on core issues that lead you to drink to begin with.

It may not be the entire solution -- but it could be a start.
