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.
I am going on day thirty seven. Being sober has been one of the hardest things that I think I have ever done. Well up until now. Going to bed sober and waking up without a hangover are great and all but I am finding that the life I used to live bores me terribly and I am beginning to understand what got me drinking so much in the first place.
I am married and I have four kids. I basically live for them. Lately I am finding that I would rather be alone. I seem to get irritated with them so fast now, not that I didn't before but I am to the point where I almost don't want to be here anymore. Everything drives me crazy. And I mean everything. The man I married, he' a wonderful dad and I know that there had to be something that I saw in him but I am having a real hard time finding it. Basically everything that comes out of his mouth annoys me. I am beginning to question what I ever saw in him in the first place. He is not exactly the most considerate person in the world and he hasn't ever really been supportive of me about anything. I honestly am really struggling here to find something nice to say.
What is wrong with me!?! Has anyone else gone thru something like this? Does anyone have any advice they could give me? I don't really want to throw it all away because I do have a wonderful life. I just don't know how I am supposed to fit my new square self back into this round hole that I left when I stopped drinking!

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 go to A.A. It's the only thing that has worked. I used to be a pretty big jerk. A.A. taught me how to deal with life on lifes terms. Life is boring sometimes. People are annoying sometimes. I caused a lot of damage to the people closest to me with my substance abuse. I have to remember that other people are sick in their own ways. All I can do is be an example and pray for them:)
Relationship counselling I don't do, only because its to complex and every situation is dfifferent, maybe life is irratating you without the drink, at the begining that is very understandble, if its more then maybe some couselling would help, and on the drink side maybe the AA.
Give it all up ??? I would say never, I would be examing what it is that I had and hopefully still have
before making such a rash decision.
We all meet crossroads in life, just need to stop before we take the wrong turning, counselling has helped me in the past, won't say I always took the right or wrong road but I did take time before turning.
Sopbriety sounds new, take it easy, we all want to run and it does not quite work that way
