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.

Anyone ever check out this program? There are meetings very close to where I live. I'll still attend AA but I'm going to check this out.

I've spent time on the website and downloaded the tools. There are people here on DS who use SMART Recovery, but they don't hang here on the main board.

There are meetings near me, and I know someone who attended them and used the program for a year or so, no longer attends and is happily sober.

Definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for the feedback, since I'm not working I have some time on my hands so I'm going to check it out.

I have the SMART Recovery Handbook and I use it often. It's to SMART what the Big Book is to AA. With that being said I would jump at the chance to go to Smart meetings if they were in my area but there is no such thing around.
Because my work schedule alternates week to week I cannot plan on starting any meetings either. I say use whatever will help you to stay sober. Life is too precious to throw away.

I agree. Worth checking out. I would too if there were meetings near me.
I'm also going to try Alanon, and probably NA too.

I've met a lady here who goes to SR meetings and they've helped her. Worth a look. Let us know how you get on.
