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 wasn't easy. Lately, it hasn't been a problem - the urge just isn't there. Then as soon as something happens where do I want to go? I found out my daughter needs braces. She needs them to correct a serious speech impediment so we can't wait on them. We don't have dental insurance. We are on such shaky financial ground after losing the restaurant. We were finally going to have a halfway decent Christmas. I tried to call my sponsor but I had to leave a message. I probably should have went to another meeting this evening instead of coming home after work. I know other people have it a lot worse and I feel like such a whiner but money is a huge trigger for me and tonight is just not a good night. Again, I am reminded of the wisdom of having no alcohol in the house.

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 know in your heart you know what you have to do. I am completely sympathetic to financial problems...and then there's life on life's terms. Talk to a few Orthodontists, see what they say and what they're willing to work out. What's your definition of a halfway decent Christmas? Is it being able to buy the designer purse for your daughter, or is it being able to appreciate the beauty in life and how insignificant our problems are.
Don't get me wrong, I am by no means trying to patronize you or downplay what's upsetting you...I'm just encouraging you to think outside yourself. I hope I've been helpful.
The wisdom of not having drink in the home is a good one, why put temptation right in your face.
Just give it all some time, can your daughter wait till after Xmas, I know its needed, but it sounds as though you may need to prioritise on this one.
Sounds as though your all fighting together, I lost my business to, but the one big thing that is making things better is my not drinking,it never ever makes it worse.
Problem with us alcoholic's is that we always want everything now, learning it does not always work that way is a bloody awfull thing, but learn we must.
Hang in there, your sponsor will call, have a chat, and give your self a pat in the back for not picking up a drink.
