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.
When I first put the grog down and it was getting around this time of year for the first time there was lots of concerns about picking up because of the season and how acceptable the over indulgence in alcohol is.
Was during a meeting that I first heard of the HALTS and has stuck with me ever since, so I would like to pass it on.
So during the festive season do not get too:
Hungry - make sure there is something to eat and drink
Angry - make sure you are not carrying resentments
Lonely - make sure you have phone numbers/people to talk to
Tired - make sure that you get plenty of rest and not running on adrenaline
Serious - remember to have fun and not worry about everything
This for me was a simple list but there are many other great tips so please add any you have heard.
