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 want all of you here, on this site, to know that it is worth it to get sober and stay sober. I too went through various attempts, failures, setbacks, etc. but, I have been sober now for 37 years. I was told I would never have anything, never be anybody and never be worth anything to anyone. Don't believe that trash.

I am no-one special and few of you here even know me but, I am here to be an encourager and to give you the support you need. Thank You.

Thank you for your post. I am one of those who needs to borrow until I gain my own.

Things are getting better. Praying has really helped. Just need to make it for the long stretch every 24 hours.

He is also a biker that lived the hard life for along time.you really need to tell your story sidecar. He has been a major inspiration to me.

Sidecar it is so worth it. I use to heap a lot of that trash on myself too. The following is Christian verse, and hope you don't mind me sharing

"Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" Ephesians 4:29.
