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 just wanted to share a nightmare I had the other night. I don't know if it's a warning or just a normal process of getting sober. Anyway- I was dreaming that I'm sitting in someones house with a huge bottle of vodka just drinking it straight outta the bottle. I suddenly realize my friends are waiting for me at an AA meeting and I need to get going. But, I can't stand up. I can't mutter a single coherent word. Where the hell am I?! How did I get alcohol? Why am I drinking?! Everyone's waiting on me and I'm drunk as a skunk! How will I face my friends? The AA group, my family? Now I have to start all over again with a white chip and admit I drank and blew it! No...I just won't tell them. I'll put off telling them...I'll act like nothing happened and noone will ever know but me. That old sinking feeling of having to sneak around and lie to hide the truth. I'm so disappointed! I hate myself! Then I sat straight up in bed, dripping with a cold sweat. Was it true? Had I gone on a bender & blacked out? Where was I? Where had I been? Just then the realization set in- I was in my own room, in my own bed, no alcohol, no hangover, no coyote ugly date next to me-LOL! Thank you God & thank you AA.

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...
NOW however...I have noticed that I will be talking with someone and they will say something that happened...if I don't remember right away what they are talking about....I freak inside my own head for a moment thinking, "oh my God, did I drink and black that out?" even tho I haven't, and only a few seconds pass before I realize that!
If anyone is reading this, is THIS type of thinking normal??? or am I like "Mark" and "not normal"? LOL!
It really does scare me! I have a poor memory, guess due to many years of drinking, but this needs to stop! lol
i talked about it in a meeting that night and someone told me i had had a freebie?
I think you get them for the sweet reminder for when you wake up, all's good and straight.
Nothing bad about being shown what USED to be a bad thing has now turned into something good.
