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.

Day 12....

Although I have a cold - another good day to wake up sober! Volunteering at my child's school today and being Mom to my three boys (and 4th furry one) is a gift. Inspired by reading all of your stories! One day at a time!

Goodness, 3 boys + a furry one would be quite the handful!
You would be feeling that sorely missed clarity you had been missing by day 12 :)
I have a little app on my phone that keeps count of my days for me, it also gives me a little positive message once a day. I really like it!
Like you, I have found reading everyones posts really comforting, at times sad, but over all its helping me shake some of the guilt I had. Knowing that anyone can end up with the same, awful condition is in some way alleviating.
I wish you continued strength and happiness,

A cold is temporary but the peace and happiness you can achieve through sobriety, is eternal! Volunteering is a great way to give back and to pay forward. You are shining your light for others to follow and there is no better way to bring about positive change in this world, then in keeping your beacon of love burning bright through living a sober lifestyle, and volunteerism!

God Bless

Yay! Hurrah! I celebrate with you, and am proud of you! Live on the love of your family and keep on keeping on, one day at a time! Feel free to pm me whenever you need someone to talk to! Life is so much better sober! =) Plus, the consequences are just too costly when drinking. I rejoice in this good news online! =D

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
