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.

Changing, just for you, my avatar is a picture of my daughter and I. Time to come out of that closet!

Wow, gr8ful......that was an awesome gesture......seriously.
I actually got tears in my eyes (I'm PMSing so I'm rather emotional to begin with...lol) Now THAT'S what I call kick-arse support:))))))

Good job! I am not quite there yet. I have loaded my real pics before, only to delete them a minute later. I am still scared of creepers on the internet.

I've used a 12 step program to get and stay sober. One thing which is of utter importance to me is anonymity. Its why I don't use my picture. I'm extremely honest with myself and do my best to be honest with others but that doesn't mean not posting my picture is dishonest. Hope this was helpful and congratulations on 2 days!!

Kookoobrutas I understand 100%. For me hiding on ds was another way for me to be sneaky. Plus I had outer myself earlier in a post by accidentally posting as my true identity.

So it was a tool I chose to use. And I respect others privacy and paths :)
