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've noticed a couple of posts about binge drinking and as a binge drinker myself how does this fit into the AA scenario? My drinking is always in the evening, maybe 1-4 times per month, I have gone months without anything to drink, I do not drink in public, only at home by myself. I currently haven't had a drink in over 3 weeks. I've been to several meetings but the general theme seems to be around people that cannot stay sober period! I've heard the sadest stories at these meetings, loss of home, family, all posetions etc.... I guess I just haven't met anyone that can relate at the meetings. As I get older I find that I am drinling less and really don't have much desire but I wish I could find someone understands my situation.
Just my opinion.
I have never lost a job, have had no legal trouble, have not lost friends or family, have an excellent credit rating, a home, and a good career. I was dying inside. I was functional for a long time while daily drinking. I cut back to only binge drinking and got to a point I was having suicidal ideation.
What you lose inside is reason enough to stop and to seek help.
You might be surprised how many people share your experience but are afraid to speak up.
