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.

.....does not make yours burn any brighter.

Isn't the whole point to support the recovery/sobriety whatever the method?

Yes, baldeagel, agreed with what you say.

Whatever works to keep someone else from dying in the throes of alcoholism, not a pretty sight. Just seems that AA has worked for the majority.

Sick of hearing the degradation of other methods. Not helping anyone.

Preaching to the choir! I am currently on the Sinclair method w/ Naltrexone (under my doctor supervision). Many people dont believe in this method, but it is really helping me. I believe in certain things work for certain people. I read the Big Book and I am also reading The Cure for Alcoholism, by Roy Eskapa, PHD (2012 ed.) BUT this is not what I only read. As a woman, I found a great book about drinking helpful & I go back to them many times. #1 Drinking Diaries: Women Serve Their Stories Straight up. This is by Caren Osten Gerszberg & Leah Odze Epstein. Im not pushing the Drinking Diaries book, but I have read it MANY timesit gives mini stories that many can relate toeven men!

There are many colors in a rainbow. The important thing is we see the rainbow. For me drinking blots out the rainbow. And goodness knows I can be overzealous in presenting what has worked for me...
