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.

There are other sponsors out there. Are you in a small town? Is there only one group? Maybe a fresh start is what you need. You can also try Celebrate Recovery, you can google them for meetings in your area. You can also try your Pastor if you have one and seek support there. Hang in! Your priorities with God are spot on!

Big Bear is right start your own new group stress sponsorship, outreach and service work in your group. Welcome newcomers and others that are fed up with the stagnant old group.

Speaking for myself, I didn't mind walking when there was booze to be had, how far are you willing to walk to a meeting. Get there that way a few times you'll get more numbers for a ride.

Sorry no one would pick you up, out here all a person needs to do is ask and someone will bring them to the meeting.I don't know some of the people in AA are getting so selfish nowadays, back in the 80's when I first attended you couldnt even leave a meeting without some phone numbers stuffed into y our pockets. I always have the big book handy, it helps alot.

Your resentment toward those people in your AA group aren't hurting because of it...Let that GO.

Sounds like your faith in a Power Greater than yourself is giving you much strength in the trials you are now facing. Sometimes I think we have these experiences simply to rise above them and be an example of forgiveness, and grace.

Listen to the silence...in it will be the voice of wisdom.
