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.

July 1st will be 2 months clean and sober. I really want to succeed this time. I feel like I can. I do not know if I have another quit left in me or not and do not want to have to find out. The last time I fell it was the worst ever.

Hello, I am new to the group. I guess I can only say I have 24 hours sober. I am so tired to failing over and over again for decades. I wish my 24 months was your 2 months. I hope you and I can help each other. A big hug to you.

PS. I still need to work at it each day. I do a couple of things: Pray, and talk to some other alcoholics. I try to stay in the middle of the road. I try not to let the "life" things that WILL come up,

C'mon!! Take some action, take control of your destiny. LIVE

I do not know if I have another quit left in me or not and do not want to have to find out.

I feel the same way. Also, I am very calorie conscience, so I don't know what I was thinking when I was pounding down drink after drink down my throat.
Even though I am aware of the months I haven't had a drink, it is just easier for me to just wake up sober and start my day.
I am not 'missing out' by not drinking. It is the complete opposite,
I am missing out BECAUSE I was DRINKING.

I second abshoe. I look beyond the occasional craving and what will happen if I do drink, and what will happen if I don't. The latter always wins because there are so many wonderful and great reasons not to drink, and not one damn good reason to drink.
So much easier to stay clean than to get clean. I like that one. So I am holding onto this sobriety for dear life NO MATTER WHAT. If I die hanging on to my sobriety so be it. Better than dying a drunk. Sobriety to the death this time. I know I don't have another quit left in me.

Applying myself to AA in a way that I had not done before. I am proof that just hitting a few meetings a week and nothing more does not cut it. I did good for about four months and then started to slip. About four months later I was in the hospital about dead. Fell fast and hard this time.
This time I am fully involved in AA. I have a real good sponsor and am working on step four..Going to cookouts,kayaking on the river going out with a bunch of fellows to hang out or go eat after the meetings.Getting phone #s and calling them! Opening meetings, chairing some meetings.
Working the program like I should be!
