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.

Yay for me ! I just finished my first AA meeting.   It was sober seniors.  Tomorrow I'll try a womens meeting.   Hoping to meet some like minded people.   I'm kinda a loner and definitely have problem drinking. My spouse is supporting but his patience is running thin.  I need to meet people and get out , so thought AA is a good idea.

I think it's great that you're being proactive in seeking support and human interaction. When I admitted to myself that I had a problem with alcohol, I worked on it myself and didn't involve my partner. She had lived with me long enough and I decided to show change and not talk about it.
I've found my sober journey to be deeply personal as I continue to look inward and recognize the things about me that allowed an addiction to take hold. I do like to share and listen in this group as this is the only place I really voice my experience.
Glad you checked in here and I wish you the best
