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.
The reason I ask is that when I do anything, I do it full steam! When I was a runner, I ran every day, long distances to the point of stress fractures and having to have a total hip replacement at the very young age of 50. Now that I can't run, I hike, long distances in the mountains and I hike to the point of exhaustion.My first hiking trip was 8 weeks after my hip replacement and my first hike was 9 miles! Since then I have gone on to hike as much as 20 miles/day in the Rockie Mountains! Since I couldn't hike on a regular basis (live 5 hours from the nearest mountain range), I started drinking full steam. I am thinking my real problem is moderating anything I do. Thoughts???
some are OCD
some are addictive personalities
some are bipolar, in an excessive manic cycle
for some their brain says, "Don't stop! I need more to get a better greater buzz"
and for others it is a combined mix of two or more of the above
