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.
"You grow up the day you have
the first real laugh - at yourself."
--Ethel Barrymore
Today I can laugh at myself. I do not take myself too seriously and I
am beginning to grow. I used to be so serious. Having the "poor me's",
sitting on my pity pot demanding attention; I was so unhappy. And I
was causing my unhappiness.
Then a friend listened to my complaints for half an hour and then
began to laugh, giving out a real belly-laugh and at that point I began
to laugh, too! My attitude was so stupid, selfish and futile that it
demanded a laugh to shake me out of it - at that point I began to grow.
Today I laugh at my funny little ways, my funny little walk, my
ridiculous pretensions, my grandiose behavior. Today with the laughter
comes humility.
O Lord, let me experience the miracle of laughter.

I will have to check that group out. Haven't seen it. Thanks for the post. :)
She always had a way of changing my perception of myself.
Has anyone shared something in a meeting and lots of people start laughing....it''s cuz they too have been there and done that. Laughter is great.
DS is great but I don't have the connections the same as I do with those face to face friendships. Lots of Love, Lots of Laughter.
Thanks Jim....you just reminded me about what I have put on the back burner these last two years. It's time to get back to what I love.
