I was out a few nights ago and I remembered nothing. I was very messy and hitting someone. Not in a vicious way but still. I'm very worried and my parents are really upset. How will I overcome this? I also feel the group I was out with I always get very bad with them. I want to get away from them as I always feel I get very bad with that group. Fight or flight, and I choose flight. Should I escape? And how will I get through this. There's been many bad nights for me the last while. My family thought I was dead or kidnapped as I didn't come home for ages one day after a night out. I also was in A and E because I was too intoxicated. This is all in the past few months. Please can someone assist me.

Al-anon is for friends and family of the alcoholic. Meetings are highly informative and it would help you greatly if your family went at least a few meetings.

AA is for you. You and your family do not go to the same meetings. You can find out what to do about your friends there also.
I have to say in all honesty yes you probably are an alcoholic. Blackouts with memory loss are a big sign that alcohol abuse has been going on for some time. You can turn things around and become healthy.
I wish you the best of luck and a happy and sober 2018!
Being drunk once doesn't make you an alcoholic.
NEEDING to be drunk every single night or week does. When you can no longer control yourself without alcohol. When your day revolves around getting that next fix. When you hurt those around you because of your drunkenness. THAT'S when you're an alcoholic.
My mom's an alcoholic in denial.
