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.
How do you join a group that you can't get through a conversation without a drink? Really, I cannot get through an evening with friends without a drink......my husband is a total non-drinker, hates drinking and hates my breath after one sip of alcohol. I think the non-drinking life would be great, but how do you start.....REALLY NEED HELP HERE....

Believe it or not, I know your pain. My life got to the point where I could do nothing with out a drink. When it finally got bad enough, I went to AA and found a plethora of friends who know how to enjoy life and NOT drink. It took a while, but today I can sit with a small or large group of people (some of whom are drinking) and enjoy conversation sober. I also have the strength today to know when I need to beat feet and get away. God and AA did that for me.

I agree with MM that AA was the answer for me. I had to stop seeing all my drinking friends, but I made new friends in AA. Depending on where you live there are usually meetings everyday at different times of the day, so it's easy to get to one. You will get the support you need to quit drinking there. Hope you will try it. AA works if you work it.

I used to be so worried about what people thought about me. Drinking made me relax in a group setting. When it got out of control I went to AA. I learned acceptance and self love. Now I don't give a crap what others think and I can relax and enjoy myself without being on edge and needing that drink.

Get on your knees and pray like the dying only know. Have you ever tried to go to a recovery home??

There are many ways to start. Detox in house if that severe which it sounds like you may be. Find new friends they must not be to good of friends any way if they know you have a problem and still drink with you. Find meetings in your area and GOOOOO. It might be hard the first time but gets easier. GET A SPONSOR IN AA

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
