Im a 17 year old girl with alcoholism. I wanna quit drinking because it is always causing problems. I usually drink like every other day heavily. What would be the best place to go/thing to do for me to stop?
At any age, I feel that a physical detox, followed by an adequate alcohol rehabilitation program is the best way to go. This is greatly aided by the support of your family.

I'm trying to find out some info about whether the Coast Guard will accept someone who has gone through alcohol/addictions treatment. If you are honest on your SF-86, it shouldn't be a problem as long as you finished the treatment and are discharged from the facility right? Thanks.
GREAT question!!
This is one that needs to be asked to a recruiter - but until then, I am sure there would be some sort of waiting period, like at least XX years between when the person was released from treatment until they could sign the paperwork to enlist.

I heard some kids in school talking about a holistic approach in relation to drug and alcohol addiction. Does anybody know more about it? I'm just interested.
I think it's a special program given to people who are suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction. They provide treatment and services to help the patient recover faster. There's a website about the Holistic Approach. I added the link below. It's really informative.
I have a friend who stopped drinking alcohol two days ago and she has been experiencing what seems to me like withdrawal symptoms. She's always craving alcohol and gets clammy hands. I told her these are signs that she should get herself treated for addiction but she won't listen to me. Am I right? If so, what can I do?
Your friend does have mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms. (other signs would be restlessness, insomnia, dreams of alcohol, hallucinations...) These are indeed signs that she should get herself treated for her alcohol addiction. The best thing you can do is to get her checked up by a doctor and he will then assess your friend's condition. Your friend needs to be treated for her withdrawal. If she's not swayed by your pleas, you can do an alcohol intervention for her.
It's easier for me to open up to strangers than to bother my family and friends about this. I have been craving for alcohol more and more now, and have started experiencing withdrawal symptoms as well. I want this to stop. I need to talk to someone about this, but not face to face. Any ideas?
It looks as if you're ready to undergo treatment now. You can call 800-559-9503. It's a helpline for people with problems such as yours. There'll surely be someone on the other end of the line who would be willing to help you out. You can also join forums over the internet and get to discuss alcoholism with other people. Good luck! I do hope you get yourself schlepped over to a treatment center soon, though.

bAlcohol/b Abuse vs. Alcoholism
Alcohol is one of those substances that can be used in moderation with very little adverse effects, or it can be abused in large amounts. And, many people over time that abuse alcohol also become addicted to it. There is a difference between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence, or alcoholism.
Alcohol abuse is often seen among young people and college students, who binge drink at parties or bars. Any time someone consumes too much alcohol and gets drunk, the potential is there for alcohol abuse to occur. The large amount of alcohol in the body impairs judgment, distorts thinking, and increases aggression. Those people that abuse alcohol may put themselves in danger because of their use of alcohol and may get into trouble with the law, or may take part in high-risk behavior such as drunk driving. But alcohol abusers are not alcoholics, and they remain in control of their drinking habits. They are not physically dependent on alcohol and can go for days or weeks without a drink. Sooner or later, though, they will abuse alcohol again, and many alcohol abusers eventually end up being alcoholics.
