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.

40 days was a long time! Actually its 54.! Sober!
What did I accomplish ? - I dont know- But I surely do appreciate all the support and knowledge I've gained from my fiends here @ DS.
The posts were an education that taught me great lifes lessons-

Will I drink? probably.. Yes.
Will I drink in moderation.... I say yes...
But, we all know that devil... and how sly he can be.

All my best wishes are with each of you and your individual struggles I wish you
'Daily Strengh'

I'm not saying goodbye...maybe (cya later..?)

Sorry I don't know your story. Are you saying you've been on a dry and now going back to drinking ... in moderation?

Let me know how it goes if so! I'm 64 days 'dry' now but feel I'm just at the start of my sober journey and really don't think I could drink just the odd glass now and maybe never.

Good for you on 54 days!

I don't know if you are an alcoholic or not or whether you just gave up booze for Lent?

It's always worth considering how you felt during this dry time. Did you find it hard to give it up? Did it affect the way you felt compared to how you normally feel - better, worse or no different?

You are obviously a man of faith, do you find ever that drinking gets in the way of your conscious contact with God, as you understand Him?

Apologies for all the questions - just interested to know how the experience affected you.

Jimmy -
Good on you for following through on the Lenten resolution. I wish you well...
YF,
Dennis

All the best Jimmy. Educate yourself and stay aware. Any alcohol abuse can be deadly, so take care and God bless. We'll be here if you need our support. :}

Wish you the best. If you are alcoholic there is a thing called the "yets" You may not know what that means today but there will come a time you will know what I'm talking about. Again if you are one of us.

Again, wish ya the best in your journey.
