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.
She was 3 weeks short of 2 yrs sober. I hate this. I needed a new sponsor anyway. Now I have one. I miss B. I don't know much of her story, like what it's like for her to drink. I just know what it was like for me, and it breaks my heart to imagine that she is hurting and alone.
My new sponsor and everyone who knows B is telling me to NOT respond to or contact her. I just want to say "Merry Christmas" or "I love you" or "Come back" or freakin somethin to let her know I care. She has been texting me encouragement and I'm sorrys and I can't reply. She's drinking. She is a risk to my sobriety.
She has a little girl, 2 yrs old, and a husband who really doesn't get it. This relapse was a long time coming. Her sponsor dumped her a few weeks ago. I tried to help her. I just postponed what seemed inevitable. She wasn't being honest. I thought I could get through to her. It wasn't my place or my job.
Funny thing... I wish I could see a drunk post from her so I know she is still breathing.

The last time I had a different username from the one I have now was close to a year ago if I'm not mistaken. You made reference to it and now Shelly. I don't appreciate the implied threat Leanne.
I had some major medical issues going on at the time and since they were not alcohol related, I posted under a different username. Just because I do that simply means that I don't wish to mix my medical issues with my alcoholism.
I don't have to look over my shoulder with you, Shelly or anyone else. Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to a great one.
I haven't even been active on DS in months. It just didn't surprise me to come back after a while and see BBH still saying the same shit he always has and for you to jump in and take a whack at me defending him.
The last time you came on to defend bear and take a whack at me, while thinking we were friends, you were under a different user name, didn't even identify yourself and quickly closed that account after I made the connection from your personal email address (which you gave me because I thought we were friends and I trusted you and YOUR sobriety).
I lost all respect for you that day and now for you to come on here and publicly ask if I have a female face to face sponsor to take another dig at me, proves that it doesn't matter how long one has been sober, you can still be an emotionally unstable, mean spirited, back stabbing liar as you proclaim from your pedestal that your own personal "emotional sobriety" is in tact & far superior to everyone elses.
You, goodtwin, glad2be, whatever name you're going by these days, have said horrible things about your good buddy "bear", not only about his personal living situation, but even in regards to his personal hygiene and yet you stand on your soapbox and question my method of recovery because it differs from yours?
For shame! You should be ashamed of yourself.
Again, I'll say I've never, not even once had any other user name on this forum than the day I joined as Holycrap and I don't read any other forums, so Miss D if you have a problem with my "aussie friend", I suggest you talk to her or is she your "friend" too like me and old bear huh?
It is because of the smug, gossiping, back-stabbing women such as yourself that I choose to NOT have a female sponsor. You, my dear lady certainly don't have anything I want. But thank you for playin and thanks for showing me the kind of sobriety that I don't want to achieve.
Now go give bear a big kiss...and get over yourself.
As for the drama, I didn't start it but yes I perpetuate. Meet my short temper. Bbh and pat know how to antagonize. I try to take what I want and leave the rest. Hard to do for me. Why don't we all just let this die?
