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 HATE MEETINGS, HATE YOUR HIGHER POWER, ANYONE WHO HAS A PROGRAM. TO ALL WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH ME. I WISH YOU SUFFERING AND DEATH.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF, I AM THE DISEASE OF ALCOHOLISM. BAFFLING AND POWERFUL. THATS ME! I'VE KILLED MILLIONS AND ENJOYED DOING IT. I LOVE TO CATCH YOU BY SURPRISE TO PRETENDING I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND AND LOVER. I'VE GIVEN YOU COMFORT, WASN'T I THERE WHEN YOU WERE LONELY? WHEN YOU WANTED TO DIE, DIDN'T YOU CALL ON ME?
I LOVE TO TO MAKE YOU HURT, TO MAKE YOU CRY, BETTER YET LOVE IT WHEN I MAKE YOU SO NUMB YOU CAN'T HURT. CRY OR FEEL NOTHING AT ALL.
I GIVE YOU INSTANT GRATIFICATION ALL I ASK IN RETURN IS LONG-TERM SUFFERING.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR YOU WHEN THINGS WERE GOING RIGHT, YOU INVITED ME BACK WHEN YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T DESERVE TO BE HAPPY AND I AGREED WITH YOU. TOGETHER WE WERE ABLE TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE.
PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, THEY TAKE STROKES, HEART ATTACKS AND ANY OTHER DISEASE'S SERIOUSLY YET WITHOUT MY HELP THESE THINGS WOULD BE LESS POSSIBLE.
I'M SUCH A HATED DISEASE YET I DON'T COME UNINVITED YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE ME, MANY HAVE CHOSEN ME INSTEAD OF LOVE AND PEACE OF MIND.
I HATE ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE A 12 STEP PROGRAM, MEETINGS AND YOUR HIGHER POWER WEAKENS ME. I CAN FUNCTION IN THE MATTER IN WHICH I AM ACCUSTOMED.
I'M YOUR DISEASE FOR NOW I MAY HAVE TO LIE HERE QUIETLY, YOU DON'T SEE ME BUT I'M GROWING MORE POWERFUL EVERYDAY WHEN YOU SETTLE FOR MERE EXISTENCE. I THRIVE WHEN YOU FEEL FULLY ALIVE, I WEAKEN BUT I'M ALWAYS HERE WAITING FOR YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
can anyone relate??

I am going to send this to my fiance who is in prison now for his 9th DUI. Hopefully something will get to him this time. Has been locked up for it before too. I am not an alcoholic. I just am on this to get some insight to what it is all about. I try to learn to help me as well as him. He has made a mess of both of our lives because of alcoholism, but I don't give up on him, it is a disease. We wouldn't abandon someone because they had cancer. I am not enabling, I am loving and supporting a wonderful man who succumbed to a dreadful disease. He makes it hard, he is so mean and ornery when drinking, and when in prison, but there is a good man in there dying to come back out from the drunken haze. He has hurt me in thousands of ways, I am broke, and very depressed, but I choose to stick by him.I don't even have heat all winter except a wood burning, little stove. I live in Wisc. It is very cold.He doesn't seem to think of any of that when he is in prisonor when off getting drunk. People think I have lost my mind. No, I have lost the love of my life to alcohol, and I am going to find him again. Good luck to all of you!

Incredibly powerful...thanks!

This really hit home with me, esp the bit about being "so numb" as I feel very much like that. It's very powerful and scary. I'm sure I will be reading it again. Thanks.
