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.
A disorder means out of order, not the way things should be. Are we convinced that addictive behavior is counter to the way we are intended to function? Or do we harbor, somewhere in the back of our minds, the idea that we'll never change our habits?
Fear of change, unwillingness to change, and lack of confidence in our ability to change are all roadblocks to recovery. Believing in our capabilities is the first step toward clearing those roadblocks and realizing our potential in recovery.
Somewhere along the line we developed an addiction, but we don't have to be under its power forever. We can think about what a Higher Power would want for us, and we can decide to move toward that positive goal.
The roadblocks of fear, unwillingness, and lack of confidence will give way as we immerse ourselves in the Twelve Step program. We need help, and we have help. We give help, and we receive it. Changing to constructive habits may be slow sometimes, but it's always possible.
If I'm faced with a roadblock today, I will call on my spiritual resources.

I think addictive behavior IS counter to the way we are intended to function. As a nondrinker I finally feel normal again, not under the grips of alcohol addiction.
I don't work a twelve-step program. I think I've moved past the roadblocks of fear, unwillingness and lack of confidence that can stand in the way of recovery. And, I too will, call on my spiritual resources if I am faced with a new roadblock today.
Funny how when I do that, the roadblocks disappear.
To recovery.
Yes--To Recovery
I heard once that being honorable is doing the right thing when no one is watching. That's my mantra.
