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.

Hey guys, hope you are all doing ok.
I have a request - I need a bit of a kick up the bum!
So, for a while now, I have been trying to give up the booze. Unsuccessfully. Then, last weekend, I did somethig awful. I have no idea what this something is, as I have been blacking out for a while now when I drink. I know it was awful coz my husband didn't speak to me for 2 days, and he's still a bit off with me even now, 6 days later. He won't talk about it. And quite frankly, I don't want to ask.
So, On Sunday, possibly a little drunk still, I went to an AA meeting, and was truely honest for the first time about what I was thinking. That is, I get to near the end of the week and a little voice in my head says
"Go on, you can just have one. You just need to stop before you get too drunk this time. You're not really an alcoholic, you just have sucky willpower!"
And they said, when that happens to speak to someone. Well,I'ma bit shy, so I'm speaking to you guys - please please remind me that I CANNOT just have one. I need a bit of a talking to.
Thanks for te support

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The disease is very powerful, we cannot possibly beat it which is why we surrender. At almost 13 years sober I'm just as close to a drink as anyone else. I've learned to live without booze in my life, but that doesn't mean I can't walk around the corner to the liquor store at any time.
Go to more AA meetings, learn about the tools we use to stay away one day at a time. Listen to what some of the women are sharing and ask one of them (with at least a year sober) to be your sponsor. See who you identify with and that's who you ask. At times like this an actual person is more helpful than a website. Good luck.
