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 need some help here....I have been on this roller coaster for about a year now....drinking off and on....I have been on here off and on for a year too....I know I WANT to stop drinking, I really do....But things are okay in my life...well only because the last two years I have had someone taking care of me, not romantic but basically my bills are paid, I have my own place, car, job....but I do not want to drink anymore and I am not sure what its going to take...I tell myself all the time "this is it, no more..." Well soon enough I am back to drinking and smoking weed helps me drink a little less....I do it so isolated (alone) now that I do not get into much trouble....I do not want trouble, I just need some motivation....
Can you all please share with me how you did it???? I have heard some of your stories, but can I please hear again...maybe I will be able to relate and find a way to jump of this elevator that keeps going down....not sure why I am staying on anymore, when I want off so bad...

That WANT has to be greater than the NEED. I really did think I wanted to also, for a long time.
I needed and wanted to for my family, but my alkie head kept saying I wasn't that bad.
Ashley, this is something you have control over now if you stop now. Later, you might not have a choice in the matter. Later could come to late.
Picture yourself still drinking 10 years from now...or even just a few years down the road. Like what you see? Probably not, so why waste another day. Learn to live without that 'feel good from alcohol and weed' and learn to live happy just being alive and well.
With certainty, that picture that you see of yourself down the road can't possibly show you what kind of damage could happen. You might think of picturing yourself in jail, or that you drank and drove and maybe killed someone.
You don't have to keep going on like this, Ashley. Please, go get yourself some real happiness. It's not found in a bottle or a blunt.
