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.

AA

AA scares me. 


Yes it's because I'm an alcoholic. I know this. 


I need to stop. But I honestly don't want to. I'm not in any legal trouble (yet) and I haven't lost anything due to drinking....besides a shoe or earring. The big blows haven't happened.....yet. I know if I get too comfortable it's all going to come crashing down. 


But I love drinking. I love the feeling. I love smoking while I drink too. 



I'm an alcoholic.

The first mistake I made in sobriety was to put expectations on others but I went to AA anyway and what I found afterwards, was how relieved my family was that I was finally getting help for my problem and they did everything they could to help me make the meetings on time, whenever I went! I never heard any "I told you so's"!

You will be pleasantly surprised. Watch and see!

God Bless

When you become sober you'll see those that often judge are those that should follow in your sober footsteps x

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
