Where Do I Get Help for Alcoholism?

Question by Worried Sick: Where do I get help for alcoholism?
Hi, I live in Massachusetts, and I have a drinking problem. It’s not that I feel like I need to drink all the time. It’s like this: If I’m bored, the answer is to go out with friends and have a few drinks. A few drinks leads to me killing a bottle of whiskey. Once the whiskey is gone, I may either go buy more alcohol, or find drugs. Friends and family seem to not see a problem in my life. I know this isn’t true, but it makes me feel like no one cares. With friends and family not seeing my problem, I feel like I can’t turn to them for help. I so badly want to get clean, but I don’t know where to begin. Any ideas?
