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 all. Day 4 and feeling better. Still just going moment to moment. Had a close call this afternoon. But I just kept busy and reminded myself of the grief that drinking has caused me.
Neighbors stopped by today to start planning the big summer kickoff weekend. Memorial Day. Needless to say it all revolves around drinking. I told them I won't be going this year. Told them it was time for alcohol and I to part. And I know I can't go (at least this year) with all the booze around.
Going to be extremely hard. We share our yards, grills, tables,etc for this extravaganza. And I want them to continue to do so. I just can't be there. So I'm thinking about taking off to the country for the day.
So wish me luck. Just got to stay busy........

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
You will get to the point perhaps where you have "immunity" built up by which you can be around drinking. But not now? Don't sweat it. Think about it this way too-treatment for cancer is horrific chemo and even then you don't know if you will survive. First line of treatment for alocholism is to not drink-big deal!!! Just do the stuff you need to do not to drink-whatever it takes. It really is not a tragedy to stay away from booze like many of us make it out to be. Just don't think of it as "I always will have to do this.." Rather-"today this is the best choice for me and THANK YOU GOD for giving me this second chance..."
good luck
I agree with the others ScrantonPA, do whatever it takes to keep sober. I'd get the heck out of Dodge too. Make plans that are a real treat for you and go celebrate your sobriety.
I will not drink
I will not stay long
Its my nieces otherwise I would avoid it
Kia kaha as the Maori say Be Strong , stand firm
You are a better person without drink
love and light to you :)
