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 free in 24 hours. I have a spot at the transition house, the truck is coming tomorrow, bags are packed and I'm scared shitless.
I'm leaving a bad place, I know this is the right thing to do for myself. I even have you wonderfull people rootin' for me.
Apparently I'm grieving because I can't stop crying. There is a certain degree of comfort in familiarity as well as breeding contempt. Going off into the unknown is something I feel a little old for.
I'm in the hands of my higher power and struggling to find the faith that he won't let me fall on my ass. Sort of one more kick in the head for the road.
Roomy is already drunk so I'm in "fight or flight" mode again. I don't have much more to do, but I would like to get it done without any more drama.
I think they have a computer I can use to be on-line, if not I'll touch base in a few days. I'm packing my computer last. It's my support system for my last 24 hours in this very sad, and horrible place.
Drinking will get you to 4 not 3 bad places. Dead, jail, the bugward or Boston Bar!

There is a saying I think fits here better than any place I have seen... When you get down as far as you can go.... the only place to go is up.... I pray you are headed up newbee... You do deserve the best in life... go for it. You can get it.

"We, therefore, when approached by those in whom the problem had been solved, had no choice but to pick up the simple kit of spiritual tools laid at our feet."

Keep coming back.

Oh Happydrunk at last, there is a better quote, in fact a book, sorry it's not a blue book. It's says. Been down so long, it looks like up to me. My prayers go with you, I learned mine from The Truth. Just use your free will and say NO to booze.

I learned mine from experience. Life's experiences seem to have a bigger impact on a drunk than a book he cannot read for everything is blurry through rhe drunken eyes of an alcoholic... Ever been lower than whale's shit on the ocean floor.... or so low that you have to look up to see down.. that's life's experiences..

Oi, this is supposed to be a discussion about newbie LOL and wipe that smirk off yer face!!! You may be older and a whole lot uglier than me, but you or I don't know what other people have gone through. I like to find out, then I try to help. You talk the talk on here, I'm waiting to see you walk the walk.

I thought we weren't going to have this debate and if you must, take it in private. Right now I'm not interested in what either of you have to say. You are not helping anyone by posting your opinions to each other to me. SPARE me the reply!

deleted_user 10/27/2007

newbee, good luck and i hope you find peace in your soul. I understand how scared you must feel. but change of any kind is diffcult. but this change is going to be soooo good for you maybe not easy to start with but in the long run it will be. God has big plans for you my friend!!and remember he will never let you down but sometimes we have to go through hard life lessons in order to help another later in life.love patty

Newbie good luck on your sobriety. It is difficult but at least you are going where there is a support system to help you succeed. And success is what we all want for you and in ourselves.

Think happy thoughts.

I've been told for many years, when you get to the end of your rope tie a knot in it and hold on with both hands.
Congratulations Newbie, your rope is knotted and you only have to hold on for a few more hours.

I'm so proud of you girlfriend! Sometimes the 'newbees' inspire the oldtimers, you'll get through this and come out a better person for it.

Sometimes those little one liners will save a person's life. Sometimes they are the only thing we can think of.. not the twenty sentences in the Big Book or the Bible that people are telling us to memorize... it is that little one liner... I believe newbee needed to hear something simple to realize that the direct ion they are headed is in the right direction. If the first reply I made was offensive to you newbee or inappropriate than I well see if I can get DS personnel to remove it.

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...
