Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

I had a realization yesterday when I was at my psychiatrist's office. I told him I was feeling inadequate and he asked me to elaborate. I said I felt like a bad wife, a bad mother, and a bad employee. I realize some of this is the depression talking but in the past I have always masked such feelings with alcohol. Now that I'm sober I have my low self-esteem staring me in the face and its scary. I'm very anxious to go to my next therapy appointment next Wednesday. I know the twelve steps will help but I'm just at the very beginning and it will take a while. In the meantime my doc changed my anti-depressant so maybe that will help some. I just wish my husband would be a little more understanding. He just doesn't get why alcohol is an issue for me. He could never drink again and not even think twice about it. Obviously, I must have some sort of character defect.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
"Show any longshoreman a Sunday supplement describing a proposal to explore the moon by means of a rocket and he will say, "I bet they do it-maybe not so long either." Is not our age characterized by the ease with which we discard old ideas for new, by the complete readiness with which we throw away the theory or gadget which does not work for something new which does? We had to ask ourselves why we shouldn't apply to our human problems this same readiness to change our point of view. We were having trouble with personal relationships, we couldn't control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living, we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy, we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people-was not a basic solution of these bedevilments more important than whether we should see newsreels of lunar flight?"
