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.

no big celebration.  No balloons or parties just quiet gratitude.  


I still feel like in my infancy of this battle and while I never have the urge to drink or mourn it, I know a slip could always be around the corner.  


I appreciate everyone here for sharing the successes and their struggles. 


I truly believe to get it, you have to give it away.

You are absolutely right! To keep it, we have to keep giving it away! Congratulations also. I remember when you first came in here. You were really struggling, and I think you had a relapse or two before you began going to AA meetings and I think you were having family issues also due to your drinking but you made alot of positive changes which included sobriety and you turned your life around! You are another miracle!

God Bless
