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.
Sober... check
Pulse... check
Breathing... check
That's about it. I am sick and had to miss work yesterday. Didn't feel like going today either so stayed home again. I don't feel like working. I don't want to go to bed. I don't want to get out of bed. I don't want to cook. I don't want to clean. I don't want to go to meetings. I don't want to read. SHIT, I don't even want to think.
Right now, I don't even know who I am. I don't even really know who I ever was but an act. I am defined by how I influence other people. Is that even a way to be? Who am I?
The only thing that I enjoy right now is connecting with other people. Why can't I do anything for myself?
I feel happy regardless. I am just aimless right now.
I am off all meds as of a few weeks ago and I KNOW I feel better without. I don't feel depressed, just stuck.
Anyone else relate?

I don't relate to a lot of people there days -- I don't even have that -- the heavier I drank the less I wanted to socialize so I pushed my friends away.
But I'm happy too. And sleepy. TIme for a nap.
The periods of ickies will be fewer & far between if you keep at it. Right at this moment, that's all you need to do. Be sober, breath & have a pulse. :)
Meeting on southview raod tonight. Go south on madison, right on southview, (right before southport road)
I'll be chairing,looking forward to meeting ya, helluva way to get outta yer head. lates
I say that as, for me, I never knew what I was really feeling in early sobriety and, invariably, I was miles off (and still am today!)
Remember HALT too ..... take care of yourself and stay safe.
Thanks all, make me feel less loco. I was waiting for someone to chime in with GOYA. Coogee must be sleeping. Does she sleep? Coogee are you out there?
If your mind is gucky today, I hope you're meeting with sober friends who won't be drinking. Just a thought. :)
