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.

I'm so sorry for your loss. When my wife died it motivated me to get sober. You can get sober too.

It just hurts so bad! I lost my mother 10/4/14 some days are better then others. The hardest thing is wanting to pick up the phone and call her a realize I can't. So sorry for your pain. Keep up the good work not drinking she is looking over you and proud.

Sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is.

Even though it hurts so much, dealing with the grief is better sober.

I'm sure she would have been so proud of you completing your first week! I was also very angry when my father died of leukemia when I was 23. We both got shortchanged, but their memories will live on in us forever...Robert

Cpb, How are you doing? I know its tough to cope with the loss of a parent. It is the hardest thing ever. It shook me up mainly because I inwardly realized that I am mortal and I will be dying some day as well. That is the most basic form of fear. I now just pray and give that fear to god and it helps me some. Ask for some help and you will get it.
Prayers
