Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
I just love all the support here and I'm now 15 days sober.
I'm set up with a counsellor through work to work through what may be the underlying problem causing me to become an alcoholic etc.
I've made it through 2 full work weeks in over 2 months where I haven't called in sick just so I could drink....and I've lost 10 pounds.
Feeling pretty good but we are about to have a warm sunny weekend here on the west coast and I'm off work for 4 days so I'm hoping I can stay strong and not drink. Luckily we have a huge yard overgrown with grass and weeds that needs some love so hubby and I have a full day of yard work and I'll make a batch of ice tea! And we have a mini road trip planned with a picnic lunch and walks at different beaches. Way better than getting drunk!!! Hugs to all struggling to stay sober today and everyday

You're doing great!!! I'm proud of you in dealing with your "demons" of alcoholism (17 days sober), obesity (lost 10 ponds), anxiety and depression (willingness to seek out counseling).

I'm not interested in your negativity here. This is what I'm doing, how I'm choosing to help with my sobriety. To each there own....do what works for you, but don't bash or put down what others choose to do. We are all here with 1 goal and that is to stay sober.
Thank you Zachary! I will check out that link tomorrow. 18 days sober now!! Yay
The group Zach linked to, Women For Sobriety, is very supportive -- I love their affirmations.
