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.

Circumstances and loyalties are keeping me from drinking. Barely anything internal to me is stopping me. It feels like I am just being obedient to my self will and the direction I am receiving from others. I know have to do this for myself.

I am tired of the up and down. I'm sorry I am posting all over the place lately. Gratitude and love one minute, then misery and obsession the next.

I am finding it more difficult to reach out for help because I feel like a broken record.

Just having an intense emotional day for no reason at all.

Thanks for the vent.

"THIS" could have been written by ME. I was a basket case yesterday so thanks for writing it and the responses have helped me as well.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately and trying to send you positive vibes.

I'll never tire of your posts or your rants and I hope you keep reaching out.

Olive-just when ya think you can't take it anymore, take it one more day. That info on Paws that Obi posted is good stuff. Someone sent it to me when I was goin bonkers and it helped me to know that what I'm feeling is normal and it WILL PASS.

Keep in mind what it says that each time you slip up, the rollercoaster goes back to the beginning. Hell, that kept me fightin cause I never wanted to go through that shit again.

Hang in there, you can do it!!! You MUST do it! :) I'm behind you woman!

All of the above comments make me think you are quite the influence here. Think about that. You have all of these people pulling for you. And then, you look to yourself and think, "what of it?"

We have good days and crappy days. And if people don't like that, so what?

I am new here. To know that another person is going through what I am going through...makes me want to succeed all the more and give support to you. To just give it up.
