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.
Imagine this...
You are faced with the biggest game of your life, the Super Bowl of it all. And there is only room on the travel bus for the coaching staff or the cheerleaders. Who do you take with you to the game?
Personally, I will take the coaching staff with me, the group of people who know how to win the game because they have won the game before me. The coaches who can teach me to moves and plays necessary to beat the opponent. The coaches who can see my weaknesses and show me how to remove my weaknesses and build on my strengths.
Many people come to this forum because they sense the "big game" in their future - the big gridiron battle between King Alcohol vs Sobriety. But it seems that most people coming to this board only want cheerleaders - to "support" them with cheers of "You can do it" and "2-4-6-8 Who do we appreciate - YOU!" Very few want to listen to the coaching staff, the members of this board who have successfully played the game and won the game against alcoholism. Very few are willing to suit up and show up, do the drills and hone their skills through long and difficult hours of practice and work-outs.
The teams that win have great coaching staffs, not necessarily the hottest cheerleaders. So ask yourself, are you taking the cheerleaders or the coaches with you?

You are one of my inspirations here so you'll always have a job offer on my coaching staff!
I like to be coached *and* cheered on.
