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 Quit drinking June 7th 2015.
The realization that I'm an alcoholic& need recovery had slowly been creeping up.
I finally get the destruction my use has left in its wake. I'm also realizing I can't fix this over night if I want permanent change.
I still feel brain dead scattered, memory is shot, NO PATIENCE. I'm triggered a lot but determined to walk this journey.
Every aspect of my life has been effected by alcohol use. I'm trying to focus on the present moment & work on physical healing right now...trying.
Learning about PAWS helped me greatly...I know I haven't lost my mind!
Shame & guilt still creeping in...at least not feeling it in Every part of me!!
I'm getting better at just stopping the thought & praying. Seems to be helping a bit.
I start treatment July 13th... I'm very excited about that!
Wanted to introduce myself I have been aember of DS but not actively for a few years & for different issues than sobriety...I cleaned up my profile & am ready to focus on recovery

Dick Van Dyke’s path to sobriety was a turning point in his life and career. Here’s what happened:How He Got SoberStruggles and Realization: Van Dyke began drinking as a teenager, largely to cope with shyness and social anxiety. Alcohol made him feel more comfortable in social settings, but over time, his drinking spiraled out of control. By his mid-40s, he recognized that he had an addictive...
You admitted yo uhave a problem. You admitted you can't do it alone. You are taking responsibility. These are all giant leaps for an addict. Well done!
Sobriety is very exciting, and very rewarding.
21 days is a marker I remember in my sobriety--the times I quit for a while and even this go which I hope to be my last (9 months tomorrow!). I was VERY impatient and still dealing with bouts of anxiety at that stage. My body was sort of in shock---like "what the Hell? So I am not getting ANY alcohol? Is THAT what you're telling me!?!" It wasn't too long after that mind and body were on board and I just had to fight the voice--the cravings telling me I could have a night of drinking.
Stay honest with yourself as you clearly have been doing, noted by those aforementioned courageous steps. It does sobriety a WORLD of good. Good luck on your treatment. I sincerely wish you the best.
Wishing you the best for your treatment, friend. You're in my prayers! "GoAllTheWay"
