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.

You don't have to drink today. You can make it 24 hours. So go ahead and enjoy the day; turn your mind and energy to something *else* and live.
Personally I didnt get sober to worry all day about drinking. In the beginning; for sure. But once we have a few 24 hours behind us, and for me once I'd worked through the steps, I could focus on living my life a day at a time. I'm grateful.

Good for you. The only sure way to fail is not to try.

I always tried not to think too far ahead. I won't drink this minute or I won't drink in the next hour and focus on that. You have the right approach! Good luck!

It is ironic that this is the first post I pulled up this morning since I fell again last night. Going to an aa meeting today to get back on track.

Still struggling, but doing better, I think. AA very helpful. Not quite where I need to be yet, but gaining confidence (belief?) that I will actually make it!

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     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...
