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.
Yes, I caved. I was 9 1/2 days into a 40 day goal, and I caved. Why?
Just too many "little" things adding up. A grumpy husband, who apparently expects me to do EVERYTHING around the house, AND take care of the car. A teenage son who just doesn't "get it." Work that needs to be done, that I have procrastinated for far too long. And a few other trivial things.
Long story short - I let it all get to me. I even stopped myself several times, and finally said, well, JUST ONE won't hurt.
Five shots later, my so call grievances were still there - but I no longer cared. Now I'm sobering up, and I still have to face them.

That occurred to me too. Just have some booze, and don't even tell anyone. Do it on the down low. Yay, like that works.
Instead, I am admitting my mistake, resetting my goal, brushing myself off, and hoping that my 9 1/2 days sober counted for something.

Alcohol made him feel more comfortable in social settings, but over time, his drinking spiraled out of control. By his mid-40s, he recognized that he had an addictive...
I could not learn what I didn't know
I used to drink for many reasons
When I learned why I was drinking
And how my body processes alcohol differently
Only then was I able to put it down

I wish you the best, but doing the same thing over and over is not any fun , take it from this alcoholic.
