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.
Here I am again,feeling like I'm making another selfish decision.Story of my life.I and my partner both drank as long as we've been toghether.I announced my need for sobriety weeks ago.The response was negative to say the least.I have now been to three AA meetings and I have never felt like I belonged any where so much in my life,as I do in AA.The support,peace of mind and welcomeness I recieve there is almost uncomprehencible.My partner is'nt aware of my AA meetings.I had mentioned that we both need to go,and the berade of insults I received from them was so hurtful,yet so true.I was told to "stop being weak,selfish,and how you drink because you choose to,you can stop if you want to,how could you abandon me after we've been through so much?I helped you get where you are today"!Now I feel like a trader.I feel as if I am giving up on the only person who truely cared about me in my whole life.I am trading them for AA.

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...
He's being very selfish, you want to better yourself and he's calling you a traitor.
You say he's the only person who ever truly cared about you; you'll find many people in AA who truly care about you, even those who don't know you. I'm glad to hear you enjoy AA, now are you willing to go to any lengths to get sober?
If the only way you can show your love is to drink yourself to death, then I don't think I would bother
Soon you should confess that your going to AA, and that you are 100% stopping drinking, I am sure the sparks will fly, but hell its your life thats being played with here.
Your partner can scream shout stand on his bloody head if he wants, but once he has done all of that, he better hurry up and decide what he is going to do, because as you find sanity, you may not be prepared to put up with his insanity any longer.
You stick with your guns, your doing something because its what you want to do, Nobody has the right to stand in your way.
Just do what it is your doing is my best advice

My ex left me because I was standing in the way of her disease. She is in full flight from reality. I am on this site sharing my expirience, strength and hope.
As long as I remember that I am not in control of anyone or anything. I am okay.
Your s/o will do whatever they are going to do. That is their business.
You staying sober is more important than anyone or anything.
Everyday sober is a day of growth.
Do it for you. You are worth it.
