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.

Beauty is a gift of God
-Aristotle.
In our addiction, we often went after what was ugly in life. Maybe we hung out in bad places, Maybe we saw peoples defects instead of there beauty. Addiction is an ugly, painful disease. The worst part of addiction is how it doesnt let us see beauty in the world.
There is much beauty in each of us. Recovery is beautiful. Our stories are beautiful. The way we help each other is beautiful. The way we become loving family members is beautiful. But sometimes, we may see the world as ugly. At theses times, we need to turn to our program. Maybe we need to help someone by working Step Twelve. Maybe we need to ask to give the Step at our meeting. Maybe we just need to read the Big Book. Whatever we do, one thing is sure- if we turn to our program, well see how beautiful the world is.
Prayer for the Day.
Higher Power, help me to see beauty today. Help me be beautiful today.
Action for the Day.
Today Ill let myself feel beautiful. Ill see recovery as beautiful.

In recovery I have been able to change all that around and I see all people as Gods children Well 99.9 percent of the time. And if I get into the poor mes and my defects raise there heads I dont sit in it for to long I try to do as suggested in the reading. I ring or talk to someone I find not only does it help me it also helps them. My world has come fro black and grey to a place that feels like I have been hit in the backside by a Rainbow.
God Bless.
Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often.
