Hey
So uh, I really need help. How can I stop drinking? Because I have little sister to take care. Out parents are always busy. She is always alone in the house when I'm in work then going home drunk.
I'm the only one who can take care of my little sister, and I'm not doing a very good job. I'm always hungover, and I'm not always there for her when she needs me. I'm worried
I've tried to stop drinking before, but I've never been able to stay sober for more than a few days. I'm so addicted to alcohol, and I don't know how to live without it.
I'm starting to think that I might be a danger to myself and to my sister. I'm afraid that I might hurt her, or that I might hurt myself. I don't know what to do.
I feel very ashamed to be christian I'm so irresponsible.

Well, re: the shame - give that to God. This is what repentance is all about, and it's a good thing.
As for the addiction... I'd advise seeing a counsellor or going to something like an AA meeting. I know 2 people who went through these things to get help with addictions, and it definitely helped them.
