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 a few people struggling the last few days and thought this may help. Remember everyday is not going to e a good day it just part of the deal.
Forewarned, forearmed being prepared is half the victory.
There will be hard times in our program. There will be hard times in our life. That's the way life is. It helps if we accept this. Then we can prepare for tough times. We can prepare by getting a good set of habits and sticking to them. We can make it a habit to give time to our program each day.
Sticking to good habits is like having a savings account: when hard times come, we can take the "investment" we've made and overcome our problems.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, help me accept that there will be hard times. Help me prepare for them. With Your help, I'll stay close to You, my friends, and the program.
Action for the Day
I'll put something into my program "savings account" today. I'll make that extra call. I'll read a little longer or go to an extra meeting.

To recovery everyone.
Struggles come and go, but nothing is ever worth picking up that drink -
Peace!

They talked about well needed Insurance , to keep the ghouls at bay. They said more thorough a much better idea than less thorough. All in all , they harped on Focus, on ones self. As Alcoholism is a subtle foe and slippery snake. I did not wanna to have to come back and say, O sorry ,"I did not take this seriously". or that I'm tired of the hell I had found myself in Again.

Great post!

I've found that (when I remember to think about it) focusing on this concept, which really doesn't leave room for dwelling, has made me feel stronger and more powerful to react in a way that is healthy for me.
Thanks for the reminder.
accepting life on life's terms is another motto I like.
