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.
Now all that is left is for you to become yourself.

The renowned sage Rabbi Zusya wept as he lay on his deathbed. His students, gathered by his side, were astonished. Rabbi, why do you weep? one of them asked. If anyone is assured of a place in heaven, it is you!
Ill tell you why, the learned one answered softly. If, when I approach the gates of heaven, I am asked, Why were you not a Moses? I will answer, Because I was not born to do what Moses did. And if the heavenly host argues, You did not perform the miracles that Elijah did, I shall tell them, Those were Elijahs miracles to perform, not mine. My friends, the only question I fear I shall be unable to answer is: Why were you not a Rabbi Zusya?
Destiny is a personal adventure. Just as no two snowflakes or fingerprints are alike, every soul comes into this world for a unique purpose. Each of us manifests good according to our own strengths and intentions. Never compare your worth to that of others because you did not accomplish what they did; you were never supposed to be like them.
Your highest purpose in life is to be true to yourself. If you honor your personal gifts, intuition, inclinations, and visions, you will fulfill your destiny and serve many others in the process.
Help me be true to who and what I am.
I trust that the gifts and visions You planted
within me are good.
Illuminate my path that I may bless the world.
I am whole as God created me.
I walk the path appointed me -with
confidence and joy.

Nice way to begin the gift of a new day.
"Maybe so," said Rabbi Stern, "but in this whole galaxy, there is no one lowlier than I."
Meanwhile, the Mexican janitor was listening as he swept the floor. "But in point of fact, Rabbis," he interrupted, "in this whole entire synagogue, there is no one lowlier than I."
"Oy," says Rabinowitz to Stern. "And just exactly who does he think HE is?"
