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 am sitting here, writing this, reading other people's posts and responding to them, realizing that I have LEARNED SO MUCH from what other people have gone through.
Writing "advice" to other people is as much about ME as it is about them. Sometimes I think to myself "who the hell am I to offer advice? I am as fucked up as the next person!"
Then I realize it's a process. You can see in other people what you can't see in yourself.
So . . . thank you everyone for your posts and sharing your stories. It gives me courage to carry on.

I have so many wonderful people to thank too. I love them forever for their kindness, stern words at times, experiences shared and I like to be there to help as I was helped. For me it is an ongoing part of what keeps me centred as well as I can be.
