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.

well im not doing very well at the mo. out of 5 nights this wk wk i ave drunk 3 nights. my family support helper is looking into groups that i can go to. will be see in her on monday afternoon. but the decision i have made is that my goal is to really gor for it in the new yr. there is no way that i can go thru xmas with out a drink as it is the party season and i really dont intend to be that depressed over xmas. i usally am but will be even worse if i try to give up the drinking now. plus i got the family around for dinner and we generally go thru a few bottles of wine. they wud look at me very strange if it did not drink and i have no intentions of telling them about my problem as thay will all judge me. so that is my decision for now.
any comments good or bad are very welcome.xx

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...
But his situation is different, is is very hard core, red faced, sweats, shakes, withdrawls the lot, so some care needs to be taken.
Why am I allowing him this, well because he has already been to see a counsellor, he has a Doctors appontment next Wednesday, he has began and is following his journey, he wll receive medical help and be introduced to AA and other support groups.
As for you my new friend, I am not so sure, after Xmas comes New Year, then next year you will have a birthday, so will friends and family. there will be births, christings, you might win a fiver or the bloody sun might come out, for you it everything will remain an excuse not to stop drinking.
What problem are you telling the family about, that you have decided to stop drinking, how big a problem is that, all of mine said thank christ, not before time we thought you were going to die.
You are your own excuse and nothing else.
Xmas is truly a fantastic time and even more fantastic sober,so where is the excuse ?????
Saying this as a cyber friend, if you want to give up the booze give it up. there are no excuses I am afraid

Anyways, I got off track here but I do hope your holidays go well and that you get through this ok. What if after a month you are even more resistant to treatment?
Every season is party season to me...
I just spent thanksgiving with my family and watched them all get drunk as hell...
I didn't get drunk.
I also went to a club with all my cousins and watched all them get drunk. Stopped them from getting their asses kicked too.
I didn't drink...
I had a great time with all of them except for the part where I almost had to beat my Dad's drunk ass because he put his hands on me. I didn't though. He is mentally sick. There is nothing I can do that would help. An ass whoopin wouldn't help either.
I think and rationalize like this because of A.A. and the twelve steps. I can do anything and go any where and be okay as a result.
Peoples opinions are like assholes, we all have them and they usually stink.
That is okay today. I don't listen to or care about the opinions of people who don't have my best interest at heart.
Me staying sober is priority #1. Everything else comes 2nd.
