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.

What are you grateful for???

I am grateful for the opportunity of choice. I can choose to be happy or choose to be depressed.

Any thoughts??

Yep, that's right. Grateful for the present moment - living each moment - mindfully.

My list would go on and on, but at this very moment I am grateful for Church, I just got home and it never ceases to amaze me that what I need to hear is just what the sermon is about. I almost did not go today, feeling sort of blue, but glad I did and it was just what I needed.
My number one all time thing I am grateful for would be the "PEACE" I have being sober. No more bondage!

Me Blond....It is funny when you talk about going and hearing a sermon like it was made just for you.

I have had the same experience many times.

God is really and God is merciful.

I'm grateful to AA, and for sobriety. From there I get to experience precious moments with my family, out in nature, riding my horse, even at work where I'm present, and in awe of the beauty of life.
I'm grateful to have choices.

I am grateful for my Higher Power! Without Him, I would fail miserably, in everything I do!

God Bless!

I am grateful that I got to spend a whole afternoon and evening with my son and his lady-love, and celebrate his upcoming 5 years of sobriety. (mine will be 6 months after his). He lives over 8 hours away from me.
Then, when I got home, I got an email from a DS friend, and during the same time, her daughter died from her addictions. My sorrow was so deep. A mother's worst fear.
My gratitude for the day I had with my son was brought to a new profound level.

I am grateful for being restored to sanity thanks to God, AA and my wonderful friends in sobriety. I am grateful to be well and glad to have a life worth living today.

Yesterday was Mothers Day here in England. I spent a wonderful day with my family and my Mum. I am often brought to tears of joy for the gratitude I feel each day that I no longer hurt or want to hurt anyone and that I can be useful, happy and whole. I am grateful for the peace of mind and trust since I recovered.

A grateful heart cannot be an unhappy one.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
