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.

Hello, I am new to this site and to the group. I have been in a losing battle with alcohol for years. I attempted AA for a bit, but I feel it's not right for me. I quit drinking cold turkey and after a month I felt I could handle a single drink with friends. That one drink turned into a black hole, sucking me right back down to alcoholism. So now I am trying to quit again, and I am desperate for help, support and advice.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think now you have proved to yourself that you just don't do one drink.
I did the same 3 years ago at a party, ahhhhhh 1 drink won't hurt, it was a bloody big glass cos it lasted 4 months, and ended with me in a hospital having detox
We can't have one drink, thats our problem, when we can accept that, we can begin to recover.
When you feel you can have one drink, start running the camera forward, imagine 1 hour from that first drink, then 2 hours and 3, then think about the next morning, because you honestly know where that one drink is taking you.
Its just the alcoholic mind that is telling you its OK, listen to the true mind the one that says its not, because that is the part of our Brain that really knows what it is talking about.
Come on, its not the end of the World, we are just people that cannot drink,in Fact Lucky Us.
