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.

Piece of cake:) I've been ready and waiting for the little voice and haven't had to tell it to shut up many times at all. I'm committed to long term this time, did 6 months last year then holidays/family came and I convinced myself I could do the moderation thing.
Anyhow, hang in there everyone:-)

Excellent!

But a reminder before the holidays hit this year --

you can't do that moderation thing.

(((hugs)))

that little voice pops up at unexpected times...the better we get at telling it to shut up, the quicker it goes away.
Congrats on 5 months! Knowing where your downfall was last time will help you not be fooled again!

I am looking forward to the holidays. I learned to plan for them but not to plan the outcome. My mom was one of those who liked to knock over the Christmas tree with a bowling ball. I did not accomplish anything by getting drunk and yelling "You ruined my Christmas." I learned to be content. It's just another day.

Congrats on five months! I'm worried about that time of year myself. I will just indulge in a few extra pieces of fudge or Christmas cookies... Yum...

5 months that is huge! Be so proud. Celebrate by dancing around your house to great music! I like Halloween the best! and Easter! Christmas is great but the season seems so long since it sort of starts in the stores very soon.

Best wishes

Great achievement, congrats. Holidays haven't been kind in my past, but this year I'm thinking of THIS year, not the past. Enjoy!
