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.

Everything will change when your desire to move on exceeds your desire to hold on.

If only letting go was easier!

The most painful experiences of me hanging on to old ideas have been my greatest teachers!

P.58 Alcoholics Anonymous "Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely."

These are age-old truths whatever way you say it! I used to hang on to my old ideas because it was what I knew and relied on, as painful as it was. The old ideas were of no service to me.

It was only when I was willing to be open to new direction that I began to realise how deluded my mind had been in active alcoholism.

when I think of right sizing myself I know I have thought of myself as GOD and that is not right sized! Being a pebble on a beach is much more right sized out of my experience....

My heart desired change, but there were resentments and fears that I needed to look at which were holding me back from moving forward. Grateful for the guidance I received to do that.

    Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
