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.

Hello
I am writing this because I know that I am drinking to much. I have been drinking every night for a long long time.
Last night I had nothing to drink... It was not as difficult as I thought it would be and I am looking forward to not drinking tonight. I am sick of making excuses for reasons to drink.
I woke up this morning and felt good that i had not had a drink last night and I hope to be waking up tomorrow morning feeling good too.
I am not expecting it to be easy. So I have done ONE day... big deal. I have a long long way to go and am hoping to find support on here from people in the same situation. I have lots of family problems but I am NOT using them as excuses anymore.. I drink they don't.

Looking forward to saying Hello. Nice to read all the other messages of support for other people too.

Oh Thank you.... I feel that I must stop though. If I have one then it will be 2 etc., I need to completely stop. I know that now. I don't know why but I just keep "in control" because so many other things in life are out of my control x I couldn't sleep last night though... so used to the booze sending me to sleep I suppose x

One day IS big deal for an alcoholic. You made the most important step: you admitted you have a problem and you are starting to work on it. That is so awesome. You're right, it's not going to be easy, but you can do it. I know I did, and it was the best thing I did for myself. Good luck to you and I'm here if you need to talk.

One day is a HUGE deal, well done, do the same again tomorrow the day after and every day for the rest of your life, its that simple.

Yes we all had excuses, but what excuse, I have woke every morning for th epast 2 years feeling great, what mmadness want's me to change that.

The true reality is that we do not need drink at all, learning that though can be a bit hard

Do give up, its a far nicer place to be

Every day you wake up just tell yourself "I will not have a drink today no matter what". take care. If it get's too bad there is always help out there, support groups and such.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
