I am an alcoholic and it is starting to affect my life.
I am a foodoholic, it is definitely affecting my life.

What should i do to gain will power, what can i do to beat my alcoholism and addiction to food?
 
small goals and targets etc, little point trying to tackle too much at any one time, barely anyone would succeed at that. Just make monthly or weekly targets and if you stick to them your willpower will start to build upon itself
 
The reason the alcoholism has started to become a problem is because i get depressed, to the point where i think it would be good to be hit by a bus. I don't want to commit suicide because i know there are people that care for me and i don't want to upset them.

Are there any organisations that can offer help and advise to me?

If I was going to be funny, I would suggest a Barman.

But I'm not...

It may seem wierd given their reputation but give the Samaritans a call. They're always willing to listen and sometimes that's all it takes.

Yeah, your doctor. Could be you have depression, he/she'll probably try you on antidepressants for a few months to see what that does for you.

You have taken the first step toward salvation by sharing your problems with other like-minded individuals at the OcUK General Discussion Forum.

Congratulations.

Yes, first port of call is your Doctor, they can offer advice and also book you in too see a Shrink, there's no shame in that, it'll be a positive step towards helping yourself get back on the right tracks.
 
Try getting some exercise and see how you feel... I'm not taking the ****, just try burning some energy and see how you feel.

I find I can feel noticeably down if I spend a whole week without exercise, you may be have something similar.

I'm the same try it, even if it doesn't directly affect your depression it's something to take your mind off it for a few hours a week.

Yeah, but he's an alcoholic, a food-aholic maybe.

Why do you think he's feeling some loss from not exercising?

I'm alright though. Hit a time i can drink and i will. I mean, sure, drinking is fine. But im drinking 3 bottles of wine on my own! You don't have to be smart to realise this is not normal.

Once i have drunk a sufficiant amount, i get massively depressed. I also get depressed if i am stressed and tired, so alcohol is just a replacent of stress and tiresome.

I have just finished speaking to a friend tonight who has become on of my best friends ever just for putting in the time. I think i am going to see my gp and see what options are open. I've tried quiting on my own before and i just end up back at it again. :/
 
Go to doctor and get pescribed a selective serotonin reuptake enhancer or a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, preferably a psychiatrist because gps are paranoid about maois. Be aware that selective serotonin inhibitors and monoamine oxidase inhibitors often cause sexual dysfunction!
