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.
Sorry peeps.
But I am an addictive sort of a Guy, and I have to watch carefully what it is I get hooked on.
After drink, it was Computer Games for a while, I would hear the birds singing some mornings when it was time for bed, so I put the games away and found more interesting things to do with my time.
Last night, I thought am I spending to much time on the net.
I have to with my work, I like to share here, I like to study things, I use email more than I do phone (maybe that should stop), I am in fact a bit of an internet lover.
Now that should not be wrong as we do live in the age of the internet and it is now the way to both learn and to communicate, however I just thought, that perhaps I should take a look and see if I was doing to much.
I found this test

I am in the middle, not good not bad, but I do think that perhaps I should remain aware that this could become addictive and try and balance it with many of my other lifes activities.
At a meeting I go to, we talk about balance quite a lot, and Balance is something that I am very keen to achieve, time for friends, family, meetings, sobriety and of course for myself, not to much of one, and to to little of another.
I seem to be getting it right, but every so often, I have to take a little review as I am now.
I am comfortable with my current balance,I think I will make an effort to spend a little less time on line, but not much.
I know that this is not drink related, but being the sort of addictive people we are, I think its good sometimes to take stock, just to make sure we are not replacing one addiction for another.
Then again, you may feel this thread to be a waste of time, if so, so be it.
I am just sharing what and how I am feeling right now
However dare you to tell us the results of your test LOL
Stay sober

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Think GOD its a rather healthy addiction. My son is in here right now saying: your always on that computer. My wife already is jealous of computer( not DS) she hardly even knows about it.
@ any rate I am notorious for swapping addictions, (whatever makes me not feel)Ive already told myself to keep this in check.
Special heart filled thanks to; TRICKEY,BOTBOTCOCO, LAURAJEAN, OL ROBBO51999,OVERWORKED, just to name a few!!! This site keeps me occupied & DOES help me with my addictions.
You are all my buddies , THANKS A MILLION!!!

But great to be with all

Must Go LOL
Again, I think the key is how it fits in vs interferes with your daily life. And we do perform so much of our needed functions online anymore (Amazon.com, here I come!!)Just another thing we need to be vigilant about.
