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.
Well I thought I was untouchable at this stage and had everything in control however DURING my AA meeting tonight I thought about buying a bottle of wine and alot of other different drinks, vodkas, beers, ciders...ANYTHING!!
I think I have been going downhill the last couple of weeks to be honest because of a few reasons; because of work hours I havent been able to get to more than 3 meetings a week for the last 2 weeks and the 3 I do go to seem to all be together which means 4/5 days a week of not going to any meetings or being around people who know what I'm going through.
Also, my routine seems to have completley vanished which I was doing so well and I have done nothing the last 2 days apart from go to meetings in the night and I havent even left the house apart from that which is not healthy for me!!
I have now made a routine list for days off in the future which I intend to follow and should keep me busy and hopefully get me back on track and now Im going to read a chapter of the big book and go to bed.
Im interested to hear how other people are doing, leave a post or send me a message!

We get a routine and find comfort in the routine. It brings a sense of stability, something that was likely missing from our days of indulgence.
Then life shows up, we become employed or otherwise a bit more active in our own lives and that unfamiliar new stuff begins to feel...unfamiliar. We're not used to making new friends and engaging in other activities. The routines of daily life change and myself, I want notification of impending changes. I want to decide ahead of time if I would care to partake in these changes.
But sometimes I have to acknowledge change. I must admit a need for it. Without change, those routines become boring. Complacency has room for routine, but also opens a yearning for more.
I only have to be careful to add no more than I am comfortable without changing or subtracting from the routines which help me feel grounded.
Look at all you have accomplished.
Hold on to that.....Things get better...cravings come and go...and less with the more time you keep.
Your worth it!
Good plans you have.....I know you have pressure around you....its always handled better sober.
