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.
True service means surrendering our idea of what someone else should want, and supporting them in their vision of happiness. With the exception of helping someone do something that will hurt them, we love most genuinely by standing behind, not between, others and the choices they make. We must not impose our visions over theirs, but support them in manifesting their dreams.
Help me love and support my brothers and sisters for who and what they are, rather than what 1 would have them be.
I delight in affirming others on their path of joy.

The young woman I took in a week or so ago is a prime example. It turned out the best place for her was not with me, but I offered without thinking it through because I have known her, I felt bad that she was homeless and hadn't eaten. She lied to me, drank my vanilla, and we then established this was not going to work, brainstormed, and I gave it to God. It worked out beautifully in the end for her, she got into rehab a week early and stayed in a place where she was able to be sober for 6 days. It wasn't the best thing for me to do, but my instinct is always going to be to help and be of service first. I just need to remember that I need to be of service to myself and my health first.
