I commend you for admitting that you have a problem cause at 30, if you hadn't already taken that step, you'd be a mess or dead. I grew up in an alcoholic family....I know where it leads them...not a nice life at all.
I recommend you try Alcoholics Anonymous. I go there myself. You will find people there you can associate with and even young adults like yourself. A.A. has 12 steps, the first step is admitting you're alcoholic and that you are powerless over it......You have accomplished that first step (Kudos), that for many, is a hurdle. Take control now of your life before the alcohol takes control of you.
My prayers are with you and please keep contact here so I know you have sought help. When your intuition tells you that you have a problem, listen, listen close because once the alcohol takes control, you completely lack intuition, you lack control, you lose self-esteem, you completely lose "you"....it's a bad road to travel.
God Bless

While I was with my girlfriend I vowed to give up alcohol, not because I drank too much of it or anything, just because she didn't drink and I was happy to give it up because it didn't matter as long as I was with her. Since we've broke up, I've been drinking over excessively just to forget about her, also to get a temporary confidence boost with other girls.
I know myself that it isn't the way forward and it isn't good. I don't know if this applys to you but the best way for me to stop drinking is to stop hanging about with people that also drink. I hope you get past this and find something worth sticking to, drinking alcohol isn't the answer to anything at all. Just really try and put your time into something other than drinking.

 go see your doctor, and they will put you in touch with people who can help you.
its not something you can deal with on your own.
i congratulate you for admitting this problem and wanting to deal with it.
you are not the first to have this problem, but you are one of the few that can deal with it.
i know you will have the strength to cope with the future, as the easy way out is to keep drinking.
stop drinking now, if you can, and see your doctor as soon as possible.you have taken the first step by asking for help.
it wont be easy, but i know you have the inner strength to get over the drinking habit, and will be able to get on with your life.

 With the legal drinking age at 18 how are you already an alcoholic? I'll tell you, drinking doesn't solve your problems. That bottle of Grey Goose doesn't make your problems or stress go away for good they come right back when you're sober. You are way too young to be an alcoholic! I know guys in their 30s and 40s that are alcoholics and have been struggling with it for years. Please don't let your addiction consume you at a young age to where later down the road you have nothing going for you. Put down the liquor bottles, hit the books, and be a teen. If you can't seem to stop on your own, then tell your parents so they can get you help. Possibly check you into rehab or some one on one counseling to discover the root of your problem. At 15 you shouldn't have any stress, when your grown up that's when the stress starts. Seek counseling to aid you in coping with your stress, no matter your age alcohol is never the answer.

 Alcohol can take hold of anyone of any age and the most important thing to do is stop it before it gets out of control, at you age alcohol can really affect you so the sooner the better. I would suggest maybe talking to a doctor or an adult you can trust, so that you have somebody to support you in stopping drinking, your very young and if you stop now it will not effect your life. i hope this helps.
