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 recently got into contact with a person that I hung around with while sober, and he told me to just try to get 3 days together, so that the alcohol would be out of my system. Is this true?
And why am I so bored!!?

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...
I never realized how much time is involved with drinking, all the planning, the getting, the drinking itself and the hangover after.
I know when I first stopped there where a lot of hours in the day to fill. There aren't meetings here that I can get to from here. If there are in your area, not only does that kill time but you can talk to others after the meeting and find out how they keep occupied. It's important to find thing to occupy your time as well as your mind. Meetings to me cover both!
Me, I'm moving to where I can go to meetings. In the meantime I find projects to do.
Hang in there!
But, it was a best friend that treated you like shit.
It is ok to be sad about this loss, but you will get over it and be better in the long run. Hang in there.
Nessa-thank you, I can't agree more!
It is damned important to me to keep off of the booze and I'll do anything necessary.
I look forward to AA and church. I'm doing so much more around my house because I have more energy and I just plain have more interest in actually living life. Drinking was not living, it was avoiding real life.
Tonight I went for a brisk 3 mile walk with the husband.
When a person is sick of what alcohol has done to them, they try different things to stay sober and I'm doing a bunch of them.
I have never been this happy in my life that I can remember and I believe God has a lot to do with my frame of mind this time around.
Good luck.
You are bored probably because you still want to drink. Drinking takes away boredom....it also takes away families and jobs and freedom and on and on.
They say the only requirement for membership is a desire to stay sober. When the traditions were first written that tradition said that the only requirement for AA membership is an honest desire to stop drinking. Honest....big word for us and even bigger to do. I have a huge and honest desire to stay sober. Do you?? I've seen people in the the rooms for years go back out and try to get sober again only to struggle because they lost that desire. Grab ahold of that desire and get that sobriety you know you can achieve. My prayers....
