Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

A little AA humor

At first DH seemed a little skeptical about me going to AA. Once he saw it was working he became more accepting. I was talking on the phone the other day and he said "AA is not just about not drinking is it? Its more like a support group or something because you sure do go to a lot of meetings even when you're not craving a drink." I haven't really talked much about the program to him but I think he's starting to catch on. It made me chuckle a little.

Your husband is a smart man. We could get a kick out of that, but sadly that is the minority. Most ppl could appreciate the difference AA makes in their loved one, but not get why the loved one isn't "cured," and stop going. I'm glad to hear you have a supportive husband.

AA is indeed a Support group, and we do make friends, at first a loved one may think that we have swoped one for another, till they see we don't come home drunk, and that we have a new found way of life.

I agree with ktharp they do not always understand that we have not been "cured" but I am sure with time they will.

Good to hear that things are going well, and a chuckle has come back into your life.

    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...
