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.

Anyway not related to the other clever thoughts I was having today.

Keep persevering Nicky. Just one day at a time. When I was in my first year, I would think about the future or mire myself in the past. The outcome if I tried to predict the future was always negative. Alcoholism is a disease of negativity.
It became easier for me when the urges would hit if I just said to myself "I don't have to drink today". Hugs, Dianna
