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.

Well I am sober!! THANK GOD FOR THAT!! I went to AA twice today, and I also spoke to A Dewayne swinke from the hotline I called last night, and since I wasnt willing to go anywhere, I did go see my councelor,,im on trazadone , for sleep, and I have intense treatment going on, For the next week, and more, WHATEVER IT TAKES! My doc doesn't want me on any narcotic, so that why I have the trazadone ! and im on flexarill! Anyway thanks for your support! I made a deal with my sponsor, and doctor, that if I am not sober for the next week, I will be willing to go into inpatient treatment! And I will not lie, For 1 im not a good lier, and for 2, I despise a lier, so I have a week to start my life sobriet again with AA, and counseling, and with willpower, or off to inpatient treatment I go, and If I end up there, it will be because I may need more intense treatment.. I LOVE YOU ALL FOR SUPPORTING ME, And accepting me!! XOXO AMBER

Draw on that want inside of you Amber, and keep doing the legwork. Don't sit down and expect sobriety to come to you, it takes work. Hey, good to hear your doing that work yeah. It's well worth the effort. :}

Thank you for posting Amber. It is so appreciated by me to hear these positive steps you are taking. I don't even know how to put it, but my heart SWELLS with joy hearing someone as yourself doing what needs to be done. You sound like you are doing everything to ensure your sobriety. I am so happy for you and the new life you are going to have. You will never regret the steps you took. And i want you to pat yourself on the back for good decisions and for making my day!
I could not be happier for you.:)

God Bless You,
Pam

ACTION - glad to see it.

Peace!

You sound like a survivor, Amber! I've know people that have been through more that 7 rehabs before they got it...so no shame, OK? The one guy went through 11 rehabs and has been sober for over 12 years. He is a drug councilor now.

If you go into rehab, try to listen VERY intently and take the suggestions of the councilors. Ask them quite frankly, "What do you think I should do?"

Praying for you, Amber.

I'm very relieved and happy you reached a hotline, Amber. Clearly this person and the team you have assembled are working hard with you. Don't fear inpatient if it comes down to it. It's not a failing, it's just what you're dealing with. Do what everyone is asking you to do this coming week. Dig deep. Try to take at least 10 minutes out of your day so you can sit quietly. No one ever realizes how important this is until they start doing it. Deep peace to you

Amber I'm thrilled for you! You're doin it girl- taking ACTION!

Peace and ease

Honesty Amber, I think that has been absolutely necessary for me. Good for you, keep it honest, keep it real. Stay connected & in the day. :)

You rock! Keep going to meetings and don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Stay honest with your doctor and your sponsor about the meds. I have 10 yrs of sobriety and have chronic pain that I take meds for. I just make sure my doctor knows I have a dependency history and keep my sponsor informed.

Food Allergy?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
