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.
All I can say (and this is probably not too useful) is just to focus on the things you can control, do your best on those and let the rest slide.
Not much you can do about how others choose to act, so just work on planning out an enjoyable time for everyone and hope for the best out of everyone else.
My goal for 2009? Fix (or at least make noticable progress on) the inner problems I have that manifest in self-destructive behavior.
