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.

You don't deserve wine. You deserve much more than that. You deserve a clear head and a peaceful heart. Drinking steals your peace and crushes your soul.
Keeping ranting. We are hear to listen.

I'm done. Best of luck to you and everyone on this site.
Sorry to hear about your dog and your Mum's cancer and I am glad you are staying clear of the alcohol. It is such a depressant as it works its way out of the body.
