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.
Acceptance and faith are capable of producing 100 per cent sobriety. In fact, they usually do; and they must, else we could have no life at all. But the moment we carry these attitudes into our emotional problems, we find that only relative results are possible. Nobody can, for example, become completely free from fear, anger, and pride.
Hence, in this life we shall attain nothing like perfect humility and love. So we shall have to settle, respecting most of our problems, for a very gradual progress, punctuated sometimes by very heavy setbacks. Our oldtime attitude of "all or nothing" will have to be abandoned.

I know for me i had to stop hedging my bets, along with bargaining with God. It didn't work, Faith on the other hand , like grasping a spindly reed...was a enough to begin to believe, which in turn brought about a different thought process... some times way off, but at least about sober things.
nice post,

Acceptance that you can not drink, acceptance of our actions and wrong doings, acceptance to face life on life's terms, acceptance of just being, acceptance of the pain and suffering, acceptance can go on and on.
Faith and Hope in the desire to change, the will change and the courage to see it thru!
BTW - good post!
I do look back on where I was 3 years ago though, and I've come a long way, so these words are very true.
Man, balance continues to be a challenge but so sweet when I'm there.
Free of fear, anger & pride? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha....nothing wrong with fear, anger & pride, unless they become unreasonable, causing me to act out.
Thanx Lisa
