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.

Co-operation

The path to genuine co-operation is again through sincere compassion and love. Sometimes we misunderstand compassion as being nothing more than a feeling of pity. Compassion is much, much more. It embraces not only a feeling of closeness, but also a sense of responsibility. When you develop compassion, it will help you enormously to generate inner strength and self-confidence, and to reduce your feelings of fear and insecurity. So compassion and love, embodied in an attitude of altruism, are qualities that are of tremendous importance for the individual, as well as for society and the community at large.

Sounds like a "WE' development.

Sometimes compassion comes form like experiences. I usually keep a couple of ones where I can reach them without opening my purse. I remember what it's like to be so hungry that you are willing to beg from strangers. Now I pay back what I was once given.

Weren't mean to be alone in this world Billy. We can receive and give care and compassion and that helps us all to grow. I love this saying from AAWS Came To Believe Pg.120...

"None of us can ever fathom the glories and the uncharted regions of the universe. But we can live on earth and love one another. We can let in the beginnings of concern, compassion, consideration, and watch ourselves grow." A precious gift - gateway to human spirituality.
