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 guys...I've had a few shots. The wife leaves town for good on Sunday. My bet is I never see her again. I've never been good on my own. I always thought I had to be "doing things" for others to feel good. The wife was kind enough to remind me that I was getting all this hurt within months she took over 8 years.
She's right...and I'm an ass. I don't work AA hard enough. I want more of the spirit to be(HP)involved...Since Ive never been in "trouble" or "abusive" like most of the folks in AA I'm having trouble relating to their problems.
All I've ever done is tried to provide for my family, climb the corporate ladder and break the 100K mark. Done it, been there, now I don't want it and now AA is there for me and I won't step up. Again...I'm an ass.
Ativan and Beam...Will I ever learn. What does it take for and ass to know he's an ass.
I've let everyone down...friends, family, sponsors. With all the "junk" I've had to face in the last 90 days would drive anyone to drink (excuse)
I just want the demons to go away for a few days of peace. I will be seeing my grandaughter for the 1st time in 3 month and for the last time of my life tomorrow. I hope I can hold on.
Hope...faith and hope. They say it can set a man free. I'm still in prison.
Too all my friends out there. I reget what I've done and what I'm doing now. I've always wanted to be the face of happiness, faith and hope. (hope the walls don't cave in at church on Sunday)
Do as I say and not as I do...Be kind too yourself today and always. I may not be back for a while. I'm just to ashamsed to be around those who are really trying.
Always

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
We love ya buddy!!
Your in my prayers.

when u are done drinking for good and all,get yer ass back to AA and start working on the steps IMMEDIATELY.
Don;t be listening to any pansy asses that say t oatke your time to do the steps either... ie.. how has that worked for you so far ?
As for your relationship with your family, how about turning them ALL over to God, since the eay you handled thngs didn;t work out so well.
Do the steps, help another sick puke and lets see how this all turns out in a very short time.
God Bless

I started out in Rehad, AA about 2 years, about 7 years in Church.
Find what is right for you if it isn't AA. Just Do It if sobriety is what you really want.
There are churches that offer the 12 step approach also. My doctor told me of one church around my area. Heck, he even told me to tell the Pastor that he sent me to him. (o;
Last time I seen my granddaughter my son came for a weekend stay. I wasn't drinking, but things here got so ugly that same night they got here that we almost had to call the cops. It's sad and it hurts when those little babies of our babies aren't around. I know. And I'm sorry for your pain...all of it.

I have 3 words for you......Turn.....It.....Over. Don't set out on a mission to revive a celebrate recovery group, don't set a goal to get the family back, you can't control that. Turn.....It.....Over.
Go to AA and listen, don't speak. Only speak to share that you're new and you need some men's phone numbers. Stop trying to be the teacher and be a student. Identify, don't compare. There are plenty of AAers like you, you're only listening for what you can't identify with. For example, maybe you were never homeless, or jobless, or impoverished, but you could sure identify with the remorse these ppl felt when they woke up and smelled the reality.
Maybe you'll never save your marriage, maybe you'll never see your grandbaby again.....this is out of your control. Your mission has to be to get sober and be a better person, no matter what happens outside of you you have to want this for your own peace of mind.
I wish you the best, and if AA is not for you I hope you find a way that is.
