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.

Just wondering what other online resources(if any) people here may utilize. I am not a big fan of going to AA meetings, but would like to interact with people with simialr experiences as me.

I was /still am selfish and the main thing is to not isolate. I hated aa at first but the reason why I love it now is Bc it makes me change my thinking. I used to say.. you’re a pc of sh,t and now I try to say you are a good person and you have good things coming your way. It’s also good to talk face to face with others. And just listening is a great way to train your brain.

Aa was/is how I found a way out of the cycle.

I go to my OP group once a week which is a small group. I like that setting much more because it is very interactive for everyone in the group. We all get a change to speak several times. I didn't like the large AA meetings because for the most part it is mostly listening. I am hoping to find a small AA group that would be similar to my OP setting. I am just not sure how to find that . I have a friend that has a group of lawyers that meet once a week. It is a closed group and I am not an attorney so I an unable to attend their meeting. I was looking for other online resources as a way to stay connected with people. I also attend my alumni meeting at my treatment center every other week and keep in close contact with some of my fellow residence that were there with me. Unfortunately my treatment center is 2 hours away so it is difficult for me to get there. They actually get together twice a week.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
