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 wish there were a world where people could show things like they really were. I'll be the first to admit that I often find myself chuckling at a beer ad or any alchohol ad for the matter from time to time. Yet, I wish the beer and alchohol companies would run just one commercial for maybe a week showing things the way they really work when people buy their products.
Instead of the fresh cold beer can with drops of condensation falling off the sides, they could start off the ad with a can that's been sitting out all night after a party and a drunk guy stumbling to his feet all alone in his apartment, with filth on the floor and puke all over his shirt.
Also, instead of the 3 or 4 guys usually in the commercial laughing it up and hitting on beautiful girls at the party, you could have just 4 guys, and they're not laughing. They're very sad because they're no beautiful girls at this party, it's just 5 guys and buddy just drank the last warm beer.
Commercial could possibly pan out to one of the guys patching up a hole in the wall from the party the night before?
I dunno, I'm not a script writer, but if anyone has any ideas, go right ahead.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
They could do a follow up of me in the morning, crawling to the toilet to be sick, then imeadiatly lighting a cigarette before I headed to the fridge for my breakfast wine, they could then film me back in my armchair Shaking, and covered in sweat, my hair soaked, my lack of attention unshaven, my mother in the background say you realy need help, then they could finally film me outside the pub door waiting for it to open, my using 2 hands to pick the first glass up, hoping nobody could see the shakes, maybe then people would want to drink more.
That I am pleased to say is all in the past, but I as sure as hell did not see that on any TV advert.
For me drink adverts should be banned, one day they will, but in the meantime a few real ones wouldn't hurt
