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.
hi, I was googling alcohol and found this site. I did the ultimate stupid thing last night and got drunk at an office xmas party. I am pretty sure I did some really stupid things but left early with a quick taxi ride home. So, I am feeling really guilty about whatever happened. And stupid! And ashamed. And lonely. A lovely combination.
Beyond that I would really like to quit drinking now. I was sober for 3 years but that was 3 years ago. I have also had weeks off but that has been pretty rare. It started to seem easier to fall prey to the desire to drink that battle the compulsion. But now I just feel sick inside and I know that it is effecting my relationships or lack of. I am scared to talk to my friends about it because I have every intention to stop drinking but I don't trust myself to stay stopped.
I think that when I am really in the midst of this disease I feel so alone but the alcohol also numbs things a bit.
I want my peace back. I know I had it when I was sober before. I want to feel healthy and confident instead of messy, sad and needy.
So, just wanted to say hi and join the ranks of the newly sober.
I do plan on going to an aa meeting tomorrow.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
You are not alone and you only have to stop one day at a time. Remember, Just for today I can do something that would overwhelm me if I thought I had to do it for a life time.
My credibility is coming along slowly. I still feel like some people are waiting for me to screw up, but a lot of them are rootin' for me to make it too.
I'm surprised daily by people. I had one of my drinking buddies say to me today that sobriety looks good on me. He had been afraid I was gonna die, never mind making a HUGE ass out of myself fairly regularlly.
People's memories are short when it comes to shit like this. You'll get back into the program and let someone else wear the lampshade on their head next year. Good luck.
We are all human, we have a diesease that cannot be cured, so the odd cock up is no big surprise is it.
You know sobriety is best, and your getting right back in there.
Fantastic your going to a Meeting and fantastic you are here.
had a couple of slips myself, but soon I will be 2 years sober, and this time I feel so strong, quite simply we learn from our mistakes.
And so what if you made an arse of yourself yesterday, yesterday is now history, so just get on with the rest of your life.
I have stopped caring about the past, because I cannot change it, I can only change today, so I work very hard at that
Take care and no more Xmas parties this year
