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 have been doing good so far, until today. I have not caved in but certainly it has crossed my mind already a couple times today and it's only 11:00am. I am keeping myself busy, raking leaves and chores and what not, but I can't help but think "well you've made it to day 5, you can go ahead and have one now and relax.". I also think in my head at the very same time, "no, no, it's never just one and you know it just opens up the door to start again.". So while these two thoughts duke it out in my brain, I'm caught in the cross-fire lol.
Just keep plugging along, plugging along, please keep plugging a long.

Remember for alcoholics, it isn't the last drink that gets us in trouble, it's the first one.
5 days is a great start and you can grow here with this support system. I know when I started more than 2 years ago, others here came on around the same time as me.
That was important. Some stayed, and others relapsed. Perhaps if you feel like a drink because you're at home, go for a walk. The exercise will release endorphins in your brain and hopefully that will be the winner in the head struggle you are in.
Glad you posted here instead of pouring yourself a drink. Keep it up. You can do it.
