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.

Hi, I am new to this site, but have been reading lots of posts. So, I thought I would post also. I have only recently admitted I have a problem with alcohol, and even then have only said it to a few poeple (most of whom are in AA). I was sober for 6 days about 2 weeks ago, then felt great and started drinking again. Yesterday, I had quite a bit, and got very down again last night. Just feel like nothings worth anything anymore. And that really upsets me because logically, I know my life is pretty good. It's like I feel happy and depressed at the same time, which is weird!Any way, I got some courage and went to a meeting this morning, which did help, butIhaving stopped thinkng about alcohol all day. i can't get to a meeting tonight, and I really don't want to drink, but I am going out with my friend and my sister to a food thing and there will be loads of wine and beer. I don't know what to do really.
Soory to rant.

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...
The happy and depressed part of you is very common in AA, and we tend to use any emotion as an excuse to drink, with in itself leads to further mixed up feelings, and low moods.
About tonight - do you have to go? Can you not get out of it to keep yourself away from temptation. I have had to turn down a night at the rugby club on saturday, as I fear the temptation too much at this stage. Is there no way you could possibly get to a meeting if you really wanted to, or are you doing as we all do, and making excuses. Why don't you give someone from your local AA a call instead and talk things through, it may be better in the long run, and you will be able to hold your head up high when you look in the mirror tomorrow morning. Just a few thoughts ... take care XXX
I will drive to my friends, I know I won't drink and drive. I am now thinking of excuses to leave early if things get bad.
