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.

Since these things have happened among us,
they can happen with you.
Should you wish them above all else,
and be willing to make use of our experience,
we are sure they will come.
The age of miracles is still with us.
Our own recovery proves that!

Thought to Consider . . .

Don't give up before the miracle happens.

This is my experience.

And also, don't fool yourself into thinking that miracles don't happen.....they happen more often than we think, but we often try to rationalize them away. If you have managed to conquer this beast, look at the way you were at your worst and the way you are today......in all likelihood, you are witnessing a miracle.

Richard Freeman (he is a yogi and a yoga instructor both asana and scripture) talks about having a spiritual experience and how our brain tries to rationalize it away but if we can just hang on to the brief moment of awe that we're willing to give away to our mind then we can always experience that awe. What a blissful life is this was as simple as it sounds. But hey, I'm tryin'! ;)

Thanks g! I love this reminder.

I have an admission...

"Don't give up before the miracle happens."

...kept me from picking up that first drink a good number of nights. ...A miracle in and of itself.
