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.
I have noticed the last couple of days that their is some people on the site that went back out and tested the waters or are struggling. Surely there has to be a reason what ever it might be, but I would like to share something with you that helped me in early recovery and I read it every morning.
Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not picking up the 1st drink. Nothing on this planet is as important to me as my own sobriety. And I am about everyone because if I am not in recovery I am no good to anyone anyway, period.
Everything I have, my whole life depends on that one thing.
Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute??
If your considering taking that 1st drink that will get you drunk you might want to copy this and read it before you do!!!
Do yourself a favor and do the 1st step.

I was almost one of them. Now I let go absolutely. And thank God for being alive.
To drink is to die for me. I almost did and that was the final convincer.
Some of us have to die so some of us can live.
Your wisdom is second to none.It is a bonus when it comes from the heart.
If this should get lost in all the other posts,I suggest posting it again.Step1 is all one has to do in order to start a new life,a wonderful life,and they won't regret it.
Step1:We admitted we were powerles over alcohol-that our lives had become unmanageable.
Thankyou higher power for bringing gjm to this site.
I don't want to drink...the same thing always happens. And to avoid that I can't take the first drink.
Thanks for this reminder!
When My life is over and they ask:
What was your biggest challenge?
What was the biggest thing you had to get over?
What was the hardest thing?
What was the greatest lesson learned?
What was the hardest thing you ever had to overcome?
What was your greatest accomplishment?
Besides you son what was the greatest thing you ever did?
Besides your son, what is the thing you are most proud of?
ETC...
My answer to all those things are
GIVING UP ALCOHOL!!!!!!!!!
It is the one thing I will do until I die....and I will be so happy and proud of!
