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 think that I could go so far to say that I would be jealous of others fellowship and camaraderie, if I hadnt found a room..
God bless all in recovery

It is just sad that people will bash one group to try and benefit the one they like better.
