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.

Always remember there is a solution and your NOT alone.

"Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?? " No, there in that one minute life will change as I know it. I've lived that minute when I forgot, and picked up that first drink. Nothing will make me do that again if I'm working my program and always remember Step 1.
Thanks Gary. I don't feel like I want to drink today, but I don't know when my disease is going to insist on it again if I don't keep it real.
Everyone:
Be grateful for your sobriety! Don't take that 1st drink peeps! It will turn into a thousand more! Embrace your life and know you are worth it!
Some days I don't even think about drinking.
Some days I wake up and love how healthy I feel.
Some days I think romantic thoughts about that "one" glass of wine. This thought passes and I try and remember why it is so important to not take that first drink. and I try and remember to take care of myself so that I do not become vunerable to those romantic thoughts of alcohol.
but I am scared of drinking today and I think that is a good place to be because it is real evil for me. I am grateful for all of these posts
