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.

I am somewhat nervous about what to feel and exspect from tonight.At the same time I feel more free then I have in a long time.I always felt as if I was trying to run to somewhere or something.I have put myself in many scary situations by doing so.I've drank since I was 17.I've always known that I didn't want to become- a self destructive,lost and alone human being,yet that is exactly what I am.What I haved feared the most,I have made it reality.I am an employer,homeowner,sister,daughter and I am an alcoholic.For once in my life I feel like I am running in a direction that will benefit me and I am still very scared,but in a good way.I need all your support and I am greatful for all and any of it.

Let me know how it goes. I'm going to a women's only group nearby on Friday. Maybe you can give me a few tips. Hope you get something from it.

It's normal to be nervous before your first meeting, I know that I was scared as hell.When I was going to meetings in Indiana,if there was someone there for their first meeting they would have the topic on step 1.They would say that this is the only time that everyone's attention would be on you. Just listen to people share their stories on what got them to AA. I recommend not comparing to the other people but try to relate with the similarities in what they say.I hope that your first meeting goes well and keep coming back.

Props to you snow. My first AA was last night. I was scared and angry that I was there and I did share that with the group for just a second. Just chill and take it in and keep going. The people there will embrace you and it will help you. I am going again Thursday to the same group.

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...
