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.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm obsessing. Consumed with thoughts of alcohol cravings. Nothing unusual. It has reared it's ugly head several times before. Around the 2 month sobriety period when I've fallen off the wagon AGAIN. But, I found this in the BB pg.152 A VISION FOR YOU. "Unhappy drinkers who read this page will understand." "She fools herself. Inwardly she would give anything to take half a dozen drinks and get away with them. She will presently try the old game again, for she isn't happy about her sobriety. She cannot picture life without alcohol. Some day she will be unable to imagine life either with alcohol or without it. Then she will know loneliness such as few do. She will be at the junping-off place. She will wish for the end." "I know I must get along without liquor, but how can I? Have you a sufficient substitute?" "Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in AA. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry." So true! Thank you to all you AA's for being here for me in the loneliest period of my life. Without your love & support I would drink again and that to me would equal death. My sobriety is your birthday gift to me and my birthday gift to myself. God Bless. Leibug.

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...
