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.
Well i have finally relised and agreed with my self that i think i have problems. i do for sure but it sounds better to say that you think. anyhow, i'm always up for a drink, if its in the in the evening or in the afternoon, or middle of night - and i cant say no. I always sais yes, and we go out, my boyfirend has a beer and then he wants to go home because then e feel he is satisfied, I however wants to have antoher, and another and another. like yesterday, we went out, we had a beer, i mooned and mooned about us going to the next pub, he gave after a long time. we sat in the pub, i drank and eventually the drink was empty, i wanted of course another one, i asked and asked and asked but he was very hard, he said he wanted to go home... My thoughts began to pnic, okey how shall i solve this problem? how will i ge another drink? i need another drink!! m thoughts wandered off, i could go to the store and by 8 cans of beer, and then came the satisfying memory - we still have a bottle of wine at home! yeay! finally there where a solution to my problems, -I had something to drink. I came home drank the bottle and passed out on the sofa eventually. when i woke up today i hated my self, as always promised my self i will never drink again. but i know that i'm weak, i do this eveytime, latest was last saturday. i give out empty promises, and everytime i wake up the day after i die a bit more inside, i hate my self so so so so so so much. why do i do this, why??
anyhow, how did you do it, how did you actually have the strengh to not drink again? am i a hopeless case, shall i just give up?

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...
There other ways to stay stopped drinking i tried many but ,i chose to stick with the winners i had found in AA ,you only have to give it a go what have you got to lose ,or how much more do you want to lose DONT GIVE UP JUST GIVE IN ,I know that alcohole is cunning baferling and powerful,and i know today that ITS THE FIRST DRINK THAT DOES THE DAMAGE ,TAKE CARE XXXX
The hardest step in recovery is the 1st one.You recognize that you have a problem.You recognize that left up to you you're not strong enough to stop by yourself.So where do we go from here? I would suggest an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.Maybe you know somebody whos already attending and you could go with them.Or you could just look up AA in the phonebook.I guarantee you that someone will be on the other end of the line who'll be more than happy to help you.At this point in your drinking ,you probably are hopeless.But thats just in your head.None the less you are not helpless.Let someone guide you through your detox process and into recovery.You are not alone.Just keep this in mind.You don't ever have to pick-up another drink or feel the way you feel ....if you don't want to.You've come to the right place.You've recieved some solution to your problem.The rest is up to you to do something about it. Goodluck to you. Greg G
i was about the same age as you when drinking became a problem. im 46 now and as time went on the fun disapeared. when it was 90% hell and 10% fun i still did it. now i only remember the first few hours realy unless something realy dreadfull hapens then i remember, or when i eventually sober up weeks/months later someone tells me what hapened and i think oh my god how low can i go !!! it gets worse as time goes on. before you know it your middle aged, body and soul have been to hell and back so many times its suprising im still sane/alive. the advise given allready by mark greg and saber is good advice. i dont go to AA as i am socialy phobic. maybe i am not strong eneogh yet. i hav'nt drank for 1 month, so i cant give you the same advice as the peole that have writen allready but i can say we drink for a reason and you need to find out what that reason is. why dont you enjoy life without a botle. lack of confidence and a hunger/greed for fun exitement was my thing anyway. you realy should listen to the people that are more exsperienced than me realy but theres a bit of my story. i hope you can get something positive from it. pls try your best to stop now, there will be hell to pay for you and those around you if you dont !!!
