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 kind of feel silly being back a again and still with yet another recent sober date...It has actually taking me a few days of comimg here and reading befor I could post anything..and mostly that is why I come here, just to read and look for inspiration (and there is a lot of it here) Thanks guys :)
I have learned a great deal from coming here! And even though for the past 3 years I have been on and off...I think that I get closer each time. Closer to seeing the real truth and really wanting sobrity!. I really do want this and I know I have to start doing the work...
Well, I do have a question, I need a really good reason not to drink tonight...I am a server (the worst job and working on getting out) but tonight is going to be a long one and everyone is going to be drinking after work, FOR SURE...they have already asked me to go out too...All I knew was to say is maybe....I do not want to praticipate in any of his but everything seeems like I am going to be in a tough spot tonight and I need to prepare myself....
Thanks for taking the time to read :) I know I can do this just need some advise.....

We threw a party tonight at our house. All my friends were drinking, some more heavily than others. I made a decision not to drink tonight, same as the last two + months. I make that decision each afternoon, each hour, each day. Find your reasons to stay sober and stick with them.
That said, if going out is a huge trigger...don't go. Easy.
Is there a way you could get out of the bar industry?
