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.
Today is day one.
I have to do it this time.
My Dr. told me that if I dont quite, I will die of Esophagal Cancer. I have precancerous cells in my throat already from years of alcohol abuse.
That was 3 months ago, im still drinking every night (not tonight!).
My boss is going to fire me. I know it. Too much work not being done because I am hung over all the time. I got promoted 2 months ago and I told myself I would stop...no way im losing this once in a lifetime job because of alcohol...
Still I drank.
I will lose my son.
Its just a matter of time before I get a DWI. When I do my ex is going to take my custody away. Supervised visits is what ill get.
Im going to catch something.
I do risky things sexually when im drunk. Its a miracle i havent caught anything.
Tomorrow im going to a meeting. Havent been to one in over a year (last time I tried to stop).
Please Lord give me strength to do this. I want to live. I want to see what I can become without alcohol controlling my life.
Please..

I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...

Tomorrow is National Massachusetts Day!Have you ever lived in or visited Massachusetts? If so, tell us what's great about the Bay State!
I have to ditto what itsmylife said... the gift of desperation is a great motivator.
