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.

I guess you are trying to accomplish the same thing and I wish you well. However, I must say the steps have worked well for me

Hi BB, you sound a lot like me. I could never seem to stick around AA for very long, never could seem to understand how AA was keeping people sober. I was very young my first meeting, like you, 20 when I went to my first one. I have had many, many meetings since then, in and out of AA for 40 years.

Now, and for the past several months, I also look forward to the meetings and feel very much at home being with others that know exactly what I'm going thru. For me, maybe I'm just ready to live a different way because the one I've been living does not work!

Congrats on two weeks!

A saying I have often heard - when the student is ready the teacher will appear.
