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 am a newly tunrd 40 year old who has finally arrived at the conclusion that I am an alcoholic. I am separated with the most wonderful new partner who really deserves my best attention - not sharing it with a bottle.

God bless , Doug

I have been sober 19 years through the recovery program of Alcoholics Anonymous. For me it has worked. Today a drink is the farthest thing from my mind.

I will tell you that what got me sober was the gift of desperation and the knowledge that acohol can actually kill me.
However you want to do it, you need face to face support.
