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.
Please keep my family and friends in your prayers. My husbands friend is on life support because of a brain aneurism. Although they haven't talked in nearly a year, it was a group of 5 of his closest friends from high school. He leaves behind two young children, one who found him.
We are all banding together, the wives texting each other. People flying in once we get word of arrangements.
After calling friends and processing, praying for the family, my next thought was wine. Talk about cunning baffling and powerful. Wish I could hit a mtg tomorrow. Ugh.

You did not drink! No-one can help their first thought but it is what we do with those thoughts or how we act on them that makes the difference. If you can't get to a meeting, a chat with your sponsor or calling any newcomers you know and have numbers for to see how they are doing will go some way to helping you too, they might just want someone to talk with themselves. Helping others is the foundation stone of our recovery and the best antidote from going into self that I know of!
It is good that you are banding together.
God will help you to get through this difficult time. Try to get to a meeting. Pray for yourself too! Don't worry about the thought. God is with you. You're needed sober by your family.
When all else fails - repeat the fruits of the (Holy) Spirit
Peace, Love, Joy, Goodness, Gentleness, Kindness, Patience, Self-Control, Faithfulness.
I can't even begin to count the hundreds, maybe thousands of times this promise in scripture has helped me in my sobriety (and other stressfull things) in the last 6 months!
