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.
How do YOU beat them?
When compulsion defies all rational thought... When your insanity gets so loud that all you want to do is quiet it even at the cost of all the good things... When all the pain and suffering of your last drink is blocked from your thoughts... When you are past the point of prayer... When you stop thinking...
When "struck drunk" all of a sudden starts to make sense...
There has to be a way to switch off the urge to drink, no? I used to be able to white knuckle it. The last time I drank, I never even hit the point of white knuckles.
I'm not there, but I have been there, and never want to go back to it. I know a lot of newcomers feel this from what I hear in mtgs and on here. It's those MOMENTS right before a relapse.

I beat the fuckits by deterring them. It is so freakin hard sometimes. The fuckits are like a magnet constantly pulling at me. Meetings. Meetings. Meetings. Helping other people. Talking to sober friends. Distraction. GOYA. It's a race it seems. Demons breathing down my neck some days even still. I know there is a solution. I am just not there yet. Have to just keep moving. Action. Sponsor. Steps. Follow YOUR program, whatever it is, and keep moving. THAT choice IS ours... ACTION. Now. Don't let yourself get to fuckit.
I hope this helps someone else today. Helped me to write it.

not fuck life................fuck attitude and judgment. it is hard to explain. but at an early age i found myself, my morals. beliefs and strengths. my only problem was i wandered down the wrong path.
for some odd reason i held to self..................i was ridiculed but later admired......... by some unwritten code.
i still have problems, but i still hold to the corner stone of a 13 year old's creed.
we all have seen a lot and sometimes too much.
i think the secret lies in the "fuckit" attitude. there is a balance.
just a thought.......gentleness, love. forgiveness and the ability to realize that we are mere specks.
When I quit about 3 years ago, I was done with this attitude in myself. I had a clear choice, to say fuck life or go forth and live. I chose to live. I never even consider drinking an option from then on. I have no idea how to pinpoint why this shift happened. I wish I could wrap it up and give it to every person who cannot stay sober. It was such a profound shift there is no turning back for me.
I think this fuckit situation was one of the most frustating things ever, I totally feel like a different person now. Life can be frustrating, I can get overwhelmed and aggravated, but fuckits are a thing of the past for me THANK GOD.
