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.

My newfound sobriety has given me much need purpose in life. Anyone else?

Yes, I am able to see my purpose with clear eyes now, instead of fuzzy and distorted with a drunk point of view. I couldn't see anything while boozing it up.

Think I started drinking again when I thought I'd lost my purpose in life when my ex left.

Guess I still need to work on finding a new one, purpose not boyfriend btw...

Absolutely! My purpose is to do the will of my HP each day - this includes working with other alcoholics.

Feeling like I fit into the world now it means that I can engage with it and live a full life, enriched by everyone that I meet because whether my experience of them is positive or negative, I can learn from them if I decide to!

Sobriety tends open our eyes in many ways and all sorts of stuff starts happening. Reading Rick Warren's the 40 days of Purpose gave me a true meaning of my purpose here, and being sober made it a clearer understanding -

Bless you friend!

I dont know if what I feel is 'purpose' but I have started to feel more comfortable in my own skin and that is a good starting point for me :)
