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.

woke up feeling like somewhat of a failure and afraid of myself today. I got online AA chat very early this morning & got some wonderful support, please go to www.londonppbbs.com if you like to find friends of Bill's & support. I called my sponsor & we will meet @ 2 pm. today because this is the time i usually go to the bar. My family is getting scared for me, drinking in the bars & staying away from home. I am spending money that i need for traveling in about two weeks when i go to work. I need to get stable. I need this job as my husband is in jail, and i am alone. I need and would like more friends online, to chat & write to. I would like to gain sobriety. I will work step one...we admitted that we are powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable. If you feel like responding to this topic...please do. Like i said....i would love new friends & support. Thank you & God bless.

You're doing the right thing by reaching out. I had a hard time doing that. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and before you know it....you will have accomplished something wonderful. Go to meetings. Get a home group. Get a service position and call other woman. Or you can always get a hold of me. Keep in the middle of AA. It won't let you down...I promise

I am in the same exact place! I get 2 or 3 days sober, then BAM! Right back to drinking - and when I drink, its A LOT. I usually just go until I black out or pass out. I have endangered people, and my family is horribly worried. My husband wants to get separated b/c he is scared something will happen to my 5 yr old while I am intoxicated. I truly, truly want to stop. I want sobriety. I prayed a few times today. Haven't gone to meetings for over a week b/c I was sick. (But still drank even though I was sick). I really need to get my shit together ASAP b/c I can see that this addiction is killing me and creating a horrible situation for my family. So, that is my story, it may not help you very much, but at least you know you are not alone.

Hi cEEs, Don't be too hard on yourself because we as alcoholics can be hardest on ourselves. It is good that you are hooking up with your sponsor. Take the suggestions, listen to the people with time in.

Great to hear you are working at it, I don't know any other route I am afraid.

many of us have had slips, and learnt dearly from them, so stop beating yourself up, see your sponsor, get to meetings and keep coming back here.

Never thought I would get 2 years under my belt, but ohhh I am so close.

There is light at the end of the tunnel believe me

    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...
