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.
"We live in a box of space and time, which we have manufactured by our own minds and all that depends our so-called knowledge of the universe. The simple fact is that we never know all things, nor are we made to know them. Much of our lives must be taken on faith." ...From 24 Hours a Day, pg 53.
When faced with fear, courage is faith trumping doubt. "Why some of us 'GET IT' and some of us don't" (M8's post) has been on my mind all day long.
Is it possible, those of us who "CHOOSE" to STAY in our comfort zone lack this faith? Is it possible that this is why some people CANNOT vs WILL NOT "completely give themselves to this simple program?" Being "constitutionally incapable" of honesty with ourselves is a byproduct of our faith in a Higher Power and a positive outcome, no?
Maybe ALL of the rationalizations boil down to faith. DAMN! Gotta get steps 1-3 down solid. Righto?
Is FAITH the answer?

Fear is an illusion of of all our indaquecies we adopted along the way in life... a core belief that we cannot achieve this or are not worthy of that.. It is stepping outside the box sometimes.. being conscious, and making a pact with ourselves to challenge those "old" beliefs.. throwing all caution to the wind... spread your wings, and fly free!
