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.
Been on vacation for a few weeks. Three of the people on vacation got into it in a bad way... everyone else is feeling very tense :( I felt like drinking. I tried hard to become "aware" of my desire to drink, and realized that I wanted to drink not to "relax from the stress of everyone fighting", but instead to "run away and hide (emotionally)". Of course, that would only be temporary, and when I sobered up the issue would still be there.
So I decided to keep very calm, not get involved directly in the arguments, and just focus on getting some work done. The situation blew over (as these things always seem to do), and I feel stronger that I did not drink and feel empowered that I was able to analyze my drives / emotions.

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 am SO proud of you!
Enjoy your vacation but do yourself rightly and relax before vacation ends as many things on vacation can send stress into your life like others fighting!
