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.

Hi,I decided to join this community because I am getting so scared of my addiction to alcohol and the control I know it has over me.I am sitting here now as I post and need a drink so much that I am cold and shaking.I can't even wake up every morning and remember what happend the day before.I wake up not wanting to face another day.I can't even begin to tell how many times I've done the craziest things while I was drunk.Alcohol has taken over my life,I hate myself when I'm sober and thats why I drink,then I hate myself for drinking.I'm tired of feeling like this ,but I feel like I have no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils.I'd rather drink then face myself everytime.So I suppose my pathetic question would be,how to stop drinking and start caring ,when there is nothing here worth saving or caring about?

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...
I understand where you're coming from. Last year of my drinking, I just wanted to die. Today, I am 19 months sober and my life is better than it's ever been.
AA saved my life. Try it. It definitely won't hurt you... Best of luck!

I was really, really depressed about the notion of joining AA, and about going to a stupid meeting, and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it was. Everyone was really friendly and cool, and there was no pressure. You can just sit and listen...
Don't let fear get in your way. You will find out that in AA, not only that people won't judge you, they we'll understand you.
You don't even have to say anything if you're not ready. Just try to go, keep an open mind, listed to the speaker and try to identify.
Again, I was so scared when I got to AA. Now, I consider them my family. I will never be alone again.
Check it out. Read the doctor's opinion-very informative. Hey-you are not alone.
this is a first step for me, hopefully it will bring me to getting a grip on my problem.
im scared, this could end me the way im going. ironically enough as it is i make wine for a living. never touch the stuff at work. i spit it after i taste it. as i evaluate the fermenting lots. scared non the less. i have a real problem that is comming to a real boiling point
