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 trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I thought to live was to drink and to drink was to live. Quite the opposite is true.
God bless.
Eventually those things we do while we are blacked out can come back to haunt us. It is scary not knowing where we have been or what we have done.
To answer you question in an indirect way Drinking does not solve the problem of how we feel except for the short term. The price we pay for that temporary relief can be extreemly high. I can't afford to pay that price in my life today and am thankful I don't have to use alcohol anymore to numb or fogert unpleasant events or issues. Today I am happy joyous and free because I don't drink. Good luck to you and God Bless.. We are here for you if you have any questions. Please just know that you are not alone!
I would also come too with more guilt, shame and remorse, fear and derogation because of the things I had said or done.
Alcohol for an alcoholic is like a double-edged sword one side is telling you everything is going to be o/k that you are in control while the other side is killing you or sending you insane slowly in most cases.
I am not saying you are alcoholic but ask yourself this. Are you living the life you want and if not why not. And does alcohol have anything to do with it.
If it does and you want help there are people who can help. You cant be too young to be alcoholic.
These are only suggestions you might try talking with someone from AA there number will be in your local phone directory. There are a lot of young people who go to AA male and female and there lives have changed.
There is also your local heath centres that have trained drug and alcohol counsellors they can also help.
If you want to drink that is your business if you want to stop then there are people who can help.
Keep posting there are a lot of people here that can help and who care.
Karen that photo is something else.lol

Kristina - With your second note you have said that you have realised this is something you need to sort out - that maybe you can relate to some of what we (as most of alcoholics in some form of recovery)describe in our feelings towards pain, adn teh reasons to drink. Darl - if you relate you have to find a way out. Somewhere on this board (go through a few pages of posts) are a list of questions that will help you determine if you are in fact an alcoholic. Any one of us could say, yep I recognize that feeling you must be one of us, but we don't know you - YOU do. YOU are the only person qualified to make the decision of whether or not you are an alcoholic, and YOU are the only person who can know if you are desperate enough to find a way out. Accountability to me, means forming a plan, sharing with someone and then sticking to it and reporting back. So darl, I ask you to be accountable to us... Where do you plan to go from what may be a revelation to you? I could make some suggestions... Assess your state of being, seek help if you need it... where can you find help?
By far the most recognized and successful programme for alcoholics is AA - or Alcoholics Annonomous. I don't think t matters where you live, you will find a meeting nearby and I encourage you to go along, and let them reach out to you. You will need some sort of support net and fellowship, adn without knowing your background Id say you'll find thats the most readily available place to find love caring support and tools for recovery.
If you have a faith or church that you are affiliated, why not seek out some sort of spiritual mentor (like a Pastor, Priest or Elder) and let them guide you towards a good choice for you either ithin or not what you alredy believe.
If all that fails, perhaps go to your health care provider, discuss your situation and your drinking habits with them with complete honesty and see what advice they have. There are drug and alcohol counsellors and all sorts of other people and groups to help your recovery. You Dr will know best whats available and be able to advise you.
Please report back on how you're doing, you could either wallow in this for a bit longer or reach out to helping hands trying to catch you as you fall. I have you in my prayers. Bless.
