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.
When I was a teenager I used drugs and drank to excess, in my 20's I drank and smoked pot, and throughout the rest of my years i have drank off and on, but mostly on. In my teens and 20s I was out of control, but i never received any formal help. I just tried to control it, gave all drugs up.
I have tried to give up alcohol or reduce my consumption, but I always return to a place where I feel that I drink too much.
Now in a much later decade of my life, I drink daily, but usually only one or two glasses of wine. I found myself drinking an extra drink on the sneak here and there and I noticed that I began drinking earlier in the day. I dont usually have a problem stopping after two glasses, but I am afraid that I am going to spin out of control.
I think I need to stop completely. I know I need support. My professional life makes it uncomfortable to go to AA. I started attending church again as a strategy to add a spiritual component to my life. I do yoga and I exercise regularly. My friendship circle is sparse due to my working situation.
Any suggestions welcome.

I couldn't hang with alcohol like I used to, it was starting to all catch up to me. I started to gain weight, I was not able to sleep at night, anxiety and nerves were shot. Cocktail time started WAY earlier in the day. My life was out of control because of my drinking.
Try to quit while you are ahead, it all catches up sooner or later.
Your story reminds me of me...
