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.

New and looking for Support in Ohio

Is there anyone here who is from central Ohio? 30 miles east of Columbus area? I'm looking for a good AA meeting to go to and am looking for a sponsor or sober friend. I've gone 9 days and that's the record for me. I want to quit so bad but always seem to go back and am fed up with myself. I've tried so many things and nothing seems to work.
I'm going to start tomorrow with a journal, prayer and a meeting at least once a week. I hope. I would just like someone who isn't a member of my family to talk to about the cravings and someone who will offer support.
I'm not sure about medication for recovery but would like advice. I'm new here so I'm sure reading some posts will offer some great advice.

I'm scared of not drinking everyday, I'm used to it. I'm not sure if I can break the habit, MAN! I'm scared!

I am real close to indianapolis. Click on alcoholics Anonymous meetings, you should get a lot of listings. Ohio is a good state for meetings!! I would suggest more than one meeting a week, my goal is 3 to 5 meetings /week. My whole personality was molded around intoxification, I felt I could not act or perform right without some type of substance. It gets so much easier, life is still rough, but being fucked up quadruples your misery.
Click AA , go, listen & relax, you will be in a guanteed safe place where people do care.
It helps them to help you!
And by the way, tylenol pm's helped me relax at first.Hang in there.

For me,it takes more than one meeting a week.When I first tried to get sober,I went to one a week,did that for a month,decided I could once again handle my booze,and fell back into it worse than ever.Watch using meds to help take the edge off-I did and wound up misusing them as well.Go to meetings,get a sponsor who will help you through the steps of recovery.Don't be scared of sobriety,it don't hurt near as bad as drinking.

There are a lot of good replies here. I agree with # 5 please watch out when taking any meds. They can become a replacement for alcohol. The best advice i can give you is just think of not drinking for 24 hours at a time. One other thing i heard go to meetings go to meetings go to meetings good luck love you

    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...
