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.

Last night....didn't go great to say the least. I've been reading the posts and doing a lot of reflecting. So I wanted to thank everyone for sharing their journey.

Thank you. I haven't been to AA for years, but I found a meeting tomorrow morning. I'm really nervous, but I'm gonna go.

Drink is my default. I basically like the effect that alcohol produces, problem is that I always drink too much... so today I just steer clear and don’t try to control it, I never will or wanted to, and I hit a meeting because I just couldn’t do it alone. I t4ied a million times , only to further make myself hate myself more.

The mere act of asking for help is a watershed event, no more loner out on the ice...

Imagine life free and clean, where you can hold your head high and say, I choose what I’m going to do...

I have been sober for awhile and I just recently starting attending meetings. I know the feeling of walking into a strange place, not knowing who you might meet and just the general anxiety of being someplace new by yourself. You can do it and it will be a relief to talk to people in person that have been where you are now and will have patience, compassion and love for you. You deserve to be happy and healthy! Don't let bad days or nights define you. A new life is available to you, whenever you choose to seek it out.

Reach out for encouragement anytime :)

When I first went to a meeting, just the stress of going made me want to take a drink but after I walked through the door, I began to wonder what I was so stressed about. The room was full of people exactly like me! They were family!

God Bless

Going to meetings changed my life. I’ve never looked back. Hope your meeting today was great.

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
