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.

It's always harder to deal with alcoholic when there is grief involved. I know I'm still dealing with the death of my wife. I have 2 years sober tho so it is possible. And it does get better the more time that you get.
I think that you are doing the right thing in enjoying non-alcoholic beverages. I drink a lot of sparkling water, coffee, tea, coconut water cold pressed green juice, juice, smoothies, flavored seltzer and almond milk. The more wonderful nonalcoholic beverages that you discover, the better you will be at refusing the alcohol and picking up a delicious, far preferable Pellegrino.
