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.
Hey guys :)
I don't post too much these days. But just wanted to share with you all that this weekend is my 4th sobriety birthday. Thank you for all of your postings and continued support of each other and myself. This has been a big part of my sobriety, even when I just read.

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
Keep on keeping on!
Finally - this last year has brought a whole new meaning of comfort into my life. I'm not questioning it anymore; this is me and I can respect me.
The last year of my drinking I was picking up smoking during breaks. I would bum one off someone until I actually bought a pack or two. One day an older gentleman who knew me well and I respect saw me having a smoke and he said, that isn’t you, what are you doing? That really hit me because I knew he was right. I stopped right away and that may have helped when I quit drinking months later. Because alcohol isn’t me either. Never should have been but that’s what happened and I understand now why it did.
I’m so glad you know how this comfort feels!
