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.

C'mon Smahaon. We gotta be stronger than that. You are going to face much greater drinking challenges than an encounter with a football player. We, and I certainly include me, need to be honest and put sobriety above everything else. Honestly, maybe you are not an alcoholic. That would be great and a few drinks is no big deal. For me, drinking = death. I have to be all in. Today is a good day to be sober and to do something nice for your neighbor.

When I quit drinking, I had to avoid my triggers at all costs which meant staying out of bars and away from alsohol.

You sound like you are basicly a good person but with low self esteem issues. I was the same way when I first quit but I got a mountain of support from AA. That was 6 years ago. Today, I live my life by the 12 steps and I have never been happier! I wish the same for everyone!

God Bless!

I will add this simple thought to your situation. Someone once told me that... "They will never close all the bars due to the fact that you decided to quit drinking...you have to learn to live with the reality that there will always be one close by...."

In time, you will be probably be able to go back into a bar but for everyone it is different timeframe. Some may never feel comfortable in one again but I believe that early in sobriety is not the time to probably be in one.

Jump back into sobriety. learn from it and move on in your recovery. :)

@smahon02 if its "worth it" to drink, then what are you hoping to gain here?
There is nothing in my life worth drinking over. Not a thing. That's 'cause my life is now worth so much more than a beer or two with a football player. I'd suggest you reexamine your values.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
