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 joined this group and read just a few posts before coming across staggering levels of lack of support from some of those of you fortunate enough to have kicked the booze.......well done with your efforts......perhaps spare a thought for those who are still struggling to get there......you know what they say......if you can't say any thing nice, don't say anything at all.......some of the people on here asking for support are not axe murderers or other vile types....they suffer (WITH OUT BOOZE) from depression, anxiety, PTSD, have been abused......etc etc etc.......if this is a club for sober alcoholics to abuse folk still drinking I don't know if I wanna be part of it
I've been sober a fairly long time and God willing next week it will be 29 years! I know I am far from being the perfect poster of recovery all the time. I will call someone out if they are full of BS and are just yanking everyone's chain! What got me sober was tough love and for a period I was fragile in my own way and I took some of it personal. See what I wasn't aware of was that sobriety is hard work and putting the plug in the jug was one of many small and yet big steps toward sobriety. I had to learn about time management, eating, sleeping and mental transformation. I am not cured nor do I claim to be; but I will say if those people want was others in recovery have then they have to make that choice and admit they are powerless.
So next time you need to come over and scold us on actions it might help if you know what is really going on! I believe treatment of people is clearly reflective on the level of honesty they provide.
