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.

step one....i am powerless over alcohol, my life has become unmanageable. I went out this weekend and have started over again. I don't feel guilty or ashamed, it is just that, i don't feel. i wish i had friends to visit but when i do, i feel out of place. I felt down, so thought i would have a few to get rid of this feeling, but could not stop at one. I sort of remember everything, but i don't remember what i really said. This alcoholism sucks, i overeat when i don't drink and want to spend money that i should save. Yea, addiction that moves around.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to work step one, i would greatly appreciate it. I feel like moving on......running away...but i am afraid to. I do know that i will drink if i move to the bigger city...i have friends there that do. wah, i am powerless over alcohol and my life is some what of a mess. I need to call someone....please write... i need your in-put....

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I understand what you are feeling. I knew a long time ago I was powerless over alcohol. I figured if I just left it in the bottle,I had control over it.As long as i kept booze around me, that bottle eventually won the battle.
It was when I realised the Alcohol had CONTROL of me did I wake up and say WHOA. I am a rebeler at heart, and don't take kindly to anything having control over me without my permission. When I realised this was the fact, I had to come to a point of surrender to my higher power. Before, I would 'comply' with sobriety, until I could not resist the compulsion of the bottle. Now I find in surrendering to my higher power, my God- as I understand him- removes the desire and obsession. I simply made it his problem to deal with and trust that he will not fail me. So far, so good.
If you want sobriety bad enough, you will find your way. Keep trying, keep searching, keep going to meetings. One day you will hear or read something that clocks for you. God Bless
