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 would like to take a few minutes to welcome any newcomers to DS. This is an excellent forum for ppl seeking support to get sober and stay sober. If anyone is looking for support I am here, as are many other good ppl here. I feel some recent discussions are an embarassment to this community and I would hate for anyone to think that this is in any way a fair representation of DS. If you're new, please stay as these boards will soon be cleared of the offensive, inappropriate discussions that have taken place since last night.

I'm glad mostly everyone behaved while I've been gone the last two and a half hours. I'm glad this thread isn't going into the gutter, that would defeat the purpose.

Unfortunately for DS, if this soberfun is not evicted from this site soon, I will be leaving the Alcoholism community. I will take my 25 plus years of experience elsewhere. I apologize for getting involved with Dan and stooping to his gutter level. I just do not like people picking on my friends. I always come to the aid of people who are my friends. I welcome the newcomers to DS and hope you just find the winners and stick with them. there are plenty of really fantastic people here. Just take the time to get to know who they are. Soberfun/Dan65 is not one of them by the way.

This has been a very painful time and I am already dealing with a lot as today. I would like to say that I did try to elevate the conversation/discussion but it didn't seem to work too well. I am sorry that I couldn't have been more help for everybody, I'm not making exclusions at this point. Blessings and Peace to all of you

As talk in the alcoholism community continues to lean on the "ugly" button, I am bringing this to the top in hopes of people finding something more pleasant to talk about.

So anyone have something good that happened today or something to be thankful for? I will start.

I know for me I am really thankful that I am alive and sober today. One more day under my belt is something I am really thankful for.

I'm grateful for the simple life. Running a few errands today with my children in tow. I doubt I would have ever had children if I weren't sober.

Well, it was nice and quiet in the room for about 40 minutes, I thank you for that.
