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.

While cleaning her goldfish bowl, Mildred drew a few inches of water into her bathtub and placed her two fish in the tub. When she returned, Mildred found the fish swimming in a little circle the size of the bowl.
Just as these fish had a huge bathtub to swim in, so do we live in an unlimited universe. Yet, like the fish, if we have accepted limits from our past. when we have the opportunity to expand our horizons, we may not challenge our limits, so we stay confined to an old pattern.
We must constantly test our limits to see if they are real. If we have the courage to venture into uncharted territory, we will find treasures and freedom we would never have known if we didn't try. Buddha said, "To see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone."
The "laws" and limits of the world exist by agreement only. When we release small thinking, we inherit the kingdom founded on the laws of love. Which laws do you choose to agree with? Jesus challenged us, "Choose ye this day whom you will serve." The world you live in will be as grand as the thoughts upon which you found it.
Let me not rest content with a life less than the one You offer me. I pray to live in the grandest universe possible.
I move beyond my past and claim a glorious future. I manifest magnificent results because I think unlimited thoughts.

After the fish had become accustomed to the smaller swimming area, the scientists removed the piece of glass that separated the tank. What happened? The fish stayed in half the tank. Having been conditioned to thinking that there was a barrier - or out of fear of hitting their heads - the fish would not wonder over into the other half of the tank.
Is it possible that this same kind of conditioning plays a part in our own behaviors? Are we afraid of things that may have been there at one time in our life, but are no longer there, except in our own minds?
It may be worth while investigating the conditioned barriers that keep us confined to a seemingly comfortable but constricted life.
