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.
Yesterday I was really down in the dumps. I have been depressed lately. So the the thought of going to my son's 8th grade graduation was the last thing that I wanted to do. But I made myself. Seeing his face made it all worth it. Seeing him grow into a young man ready to start the next phase in his life. This is what it is all about. This is why I poured my last drink down the drain 5 years ago. This is what I fought for. Believe me, it wasn't easy.
I was in a deep dark hole with no light in sight. I was so broken. I got so tired of being in that hole that I blindly started to reach. I found something that I could grab hold of to lift myself up a little. Scared with knuckles bleeding, I pulled myself up a little more. Little by little I pulled myself up more. Finally I got a glimpse of light. I followed that light. Eventually I pulled myself out of that hole. But that is where my real journey began. I am still on this journey. But seeing my son's face reminded me of why I fight and why I will continue to fight.

Can you identify these rom-coms from just a screenshot from the middle of the films? This is a multiple choice quiz so even if you're not entirely sure you can always take a guess and at least have a 25% chance of getting it right anyway, so why not have a go?! https://www.buzzfeed.com/alysaurus688/rom-com-screenshot-trivia-quiz
I needed to read this because I needed to know why family is so important. They stick with you through thick and thin.
Thankyou for posting this.
God Bless!
I don't have many people to be sober for anymore...my kids are grown....my parents have basically stopped associating with me.
They have enough problems with my little sister.
But, I have to do this for myself....I remember the bleeding knuckles just a few weeks back.
I'm glad that you were able to enjoy your sons growth and that you shared your story.
Thank you
