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 have a major trigger heading my way and I have never been able to stop it before. It has actually been the reason I know I am an alcoholic.
My wife is leaving Saturday for a week to visit her grandchildren out of state. Mrs GC has never nagged me or tried to shame me. She has been very helpful these past 5 weeks ( but I can tell she doesn't want to admit I can't control my drinking). But when she leaves Saturday night I will be all alone and my mind has been working on a story to tell myself to make getting a case of beer sound like a good thing, and all kinds of other things... but I am determined to never use alcohol again except for medical purposes.
My mind just told me having a few beers would... be alright and... it would only be for a few days... just think how good it will feel to get that buzz going again. hahaha
Anyways I posted this here to try and make myself accountable, knowing that if I give in to the urge I will need to tell it somewhat publicly.
Oh today marks my 5th week of Living Alcohol Free!

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz


On a side note another strange thing happened to me this week. I thought my vision was getting worse because when I put my glasses on to drive things were getting blurry. The eye doctor said my vision has returned to 20/20 and don't need glasses! After 40 years!? I have worn glasses since the 3rd grade! I went outside this morning and looked at the stars, they'r all in perfect focus! ?? it's weird.
