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.

The Big Book is a map, or like a cook book, in that it gives clear instructions -- in this case, though, instructions on how to get from your sucky, blackout-ridden (or blackout-impending), downward spiral of an alcoholic life to something much brighter, higher functioning and more fulfilling -- not just released from alcoholism's terrible choke hold on the mind but actually joyous and free (most days).

Recipes( instructions ) are rarely followed exactly. See internet recipe reviews. And most are tailored to the individuals cooks personal taste and needs. And what other things they may have in the "cabinet".

Very nice!! I liked this paragraph in that article

"Balancing that, however, and what has worked best for me over the years, is to make sure I eventually take my eye away from the microscope and view the entire picture. To grasp the spirit of a point, rather than argue one specific element."

Love it!!
