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.

As a newcomer, a good person told me that the only step I need to do 100% perfect every day is the first step...how true x
Darrell people come and go and I know for a fact some are staying sober but just got tired of the site and moved on in their journey and of course there are others well are still struggling.
This is the only fatal disease that are thinking tells us we don't have a disease and for that we have to stay connected to people like are selves.
To Recovery everyone.
Peace
or
People that have been around and are struggling with are disease that are looking for some hope today.
Lots of good stuff here to get some encouragement from.
As gjm put it to me,...
"Don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle happens."
Be grateful for the miracle which I'm sure you are. Some never get it for one reason or another.
This is truly a gift.
To the solution.
Working the whole 12 step programme will set you free from the problem of the first drink, staying in fit spiritual condition allows that problem to be removed, it does not exist for us.
I don't have to remember not to pick up the first drink because there is no longer a 'choice' to be made - it doesn't enter my head because the problem has been removed. Jump aboard it's a great life!
This may help.
i hope your struggles come to a end soon.
Keep striving my friend. One thing I know for sure you know a drink will not solve anything..
This was good to read. Glad it came back around to the forefront, months later.
Thanks
