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.

It will never happen to Me by Claudia Black Pia Melody books, John Bradshaw......Leo Busglaglia on personhood, Og mandino fun reading,and Shunryu Susuki or Anthony Demello on the spiritual side of our existence which is pretty much all of our interactions:) I went to the used book store and bought what seemed to draw my attention. Reading is a wonderful way in beginning to understand and then moving forward with a better understanding of WHY.

All AA's literature if your interested may give you a set of building blocks to lean on as your exploring all the other things I mentioned . It was a catalyst to help me become open to all the possibilities knowledge can give YOu!!

A good read if you want to quit is "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking," by Allen Carr.

"The 12 steps for everyone who really wants them" by Jerry Hirschfield.

Walks you through each of the steps in easy to understand language. This book literally saved my life. It is the AA 12 steps adapted for EHA (Emotional Health Anonymous) Since addiction is based in mental health issues, it gets right to the route of your problem.

You can buy it used on Amazon for a few dollars or if you trust me with your address, I have an extra copy I can spare.

Good Luck!

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
