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.

New here under a dif name than my other groups. I drink 1-2 bottles of wine almost every day. I feel compelled and I don't know why. My dad drank some and I thought he was a borderline alcoholic but he was very functional. I have thought I had a problem since college. I don't HAVE to drink but I feel like once the idea is in my head I can't NOT drink. It feels almost like I can't control it because I convince myself it is okay - every morning I hate myself and every night I think it is okay.

Am I an alcoholic? I haven't really hurt anyone so I can't imagine going through 12 steps and having to ask forgiveness. It would be weird.

the 12 steps help in LIFE in general,it's not about addiction - the 12 steps are a good foundation for discovering who you really are! Further, you'd be surprised, in the forgiveness stage, asking for forgiveness from others is truly rather easy, its searching to forgive ourselves and accepting God's forgiveness that is the hardest.

i still think you just don't want to admit your an addict or alcoholic, we all justified our drinking before accepting who we were -

Peace be with you.
