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 read a book called "DRY" by augustin burroughs. highly recommend it. anyway , he was actually allergic to alcohol (phyiologically) and when he went to rehab his adictions included not only alcohol but the 20 a day benedryl he had to take in order to drink. great book.anyway, keep going to some meetings and i pray you find serenity at last. love.devonh

BREATHE!

Focus on your breath when rage is upon you. Breathe in through the nose, expanding your chest and out through the mouth, collapsing your chest.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Do this several times and you will BE amazed at just how effective it is. Though, you must have to want to let the anger go first.

BE WELL.
