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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
so your still functional as they say, I was once, ran my own business, gets to school ntertained all night worked hard palyed hard that was me.
And then bang, the drink took over where I left off, and all the good stuff became a distant memory as I slowly drunk myself broke.
Sounds as though you have not got that far yet, but the tightrope oh is so thin, befor eyou know where you are the drink overtakes everything and bingo its to late
Nip in the bud now, here is a great place to start, then the AA And if its real bad see your Doc.
Alcohol will take over completely in the end and all the good work your doing now will got to waste.
If I had a wish, it would be that I had not taken 30 years to learn that alcohol truly is the pits.
Great you are taking it on board, as hard as it may seem its not once you get to grips with it, why slowly poison yourself anyway.
Wishing loads of positives, good luck and welcome

There's no shame in AA, and although you're functional and drink alone, we seldom fool people as well as we think we do. Many of us are ashamed to come out and admit that we're alcoholic and need help, but when we do the reality is often that people already knew.
You said you're a single mother, that's an even better reason to go to AA. When you don't have the kids maybe try a meeting, you're worth it.
You drink till you drop.
What would happen should your kids cry out for you in the middle of the night? Or someone break in? Are you driving while still under the influence from the night before?
Sounds like you fit here just fine. You will find out that we could not quit either. However, there is a solution. Don't pick up the first drink! If you find you cannot do this then call someone instead of picking up that drink. If no one is available to talk to...hit your knees and talk to God. He will help you.
Keep Coming Back!
