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.
Alcoholics are unable or unwilling, during their addiction to alcohol, to live in the present. The result is that they live in a constant state of remorse and fear because of their unholy past and its morbid attraction, or the uncertain future and its vague forebodings. So the only real hope for the alcoholic is to face the present. Now is the time. Now is ours. The past is beyond recall. The future is as uncertain as life itself. Only the now belongs to us. Am I living in the now?

My Big Book tells me that faith without works is dead. The spiritual life is not a theory... we have to LIVE it.
Nice quote.
I drank to blot out all thoughts of the past and all reminders of the future. In a sick way I was drinking to only be in the present. Problem is that in the drunken present I was shutting much of myself down.
Yes, I need to live in the now, but I need to be much more introspective of the past and mindful of the future than when I was drinking.
