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.

Did really well for a while... then not so much.

I am done making excuses about how stressful life is... it is. And it is for everyone. I have not been here for a while because I had relapsed and of course I was ashamed of my weakness. It was a slow relapse, I was sober for a long time, then just one drink (and I just had one)... then 2... You all know this story. I have been drinking less than I used to... however I know that for me 1 is too much.

This group helped me so much, even when I was not posting, just reading the struggles and successes of folks here. I hope to be a success story too.

So I am back.

Cheers.

Welcome back. We're here for you. You got sober before so you can do it again. And now you know that one drink is never one and never worth it, so you don't have to go through this ever again.

Don't ever be ashamed. Whast is important is that you are back and you learned something I used many excuses to drink, stress, work, kids, celebrations. There was always a reason. When I stopped a little over 5 months ago I realized there will always be those reasons. I have to choose to be sober and never take that first drink.

Hi Lostgirl,
We have all been there! I agree about this group. I log in every day even if it's just to read the latest. It's a daily boost to my resolve to really make it this time.

welcome back! Dealing with this disease is hard. I relapsed after three months but it took me over a year to tell my group. You have courage. Yes!
