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.
Hey, just popping in to introduce myself!
I've joined DS so that I could journal about my life on booze. I'm 51 years old, and had my first drink a billion years ago. I didn't consider it a problem, in fact, I thought it was quite normal, to drink every night and doubly on weekends.
Until I tried to stop.
And you're all keenly aware of what that entails. I'm taking an introspective approach; journaling allows me to think thoughts I've long ago buried, and to examine the nature of my dependence - it's source, it's growth, and it's ultimate death :)
Well, onward to the weekend, to day 4 with a clear head and energy, and finding ways to deal with a funeral, a night out at a bar, and Sunday in the hot tub without caving to a cocktail or 6.
If I need support, I know where to find you!

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
Looking forward to more posts on your journey to recovery.
I too have taken an introspective approach.
I've written on the reasons "why" I should stop.
I've written on the benefits of stopping.
I've written on the negatives of alcohol.
Then . . . when push comes to shove . . . the only thing that actually matters is NOT DRINKING. For a day. A week. A lifetime.
You have taken the first step. Bravo!
Now . . . take step two, three, . . . seventeen.
It's the discipline, focus, and follow-through that matter.
All the best on your journey!
