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.
Step One is, "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol-that our
lives had become unmanageable." This step states the membership
requirement of A.A. We must admit that our lives are disturbed. We
must accept the fact that we are helpless before the power of alcohol.
We must admit that we are licked as far as drinking is concerned and
that we need help. We must be willing to accept the bitter fact that
we cannot drink like normal people. And we must make, as gracefully
as possible, a surrender to the inevitable fact that we must stop
drinking. Is it difficult for me to admit that I am different from
normal drinkers?
It is said there is only suggestion for a better way of like but from my exp, there was some MUST.
To Recovery everyone.

After that admission the other "musts" got much easier to accept as i could see why they were necessary and essential if i wanted to stay sober.

Then, having made that important decision, the Big Book tells us that a decision alone is completely useless, unless it is followed by action. Over and over, it tells us what we MUST do in order to recover. I have not made a count but it is said that the word MUST is used 103 times in the Big Book.
Of course, we MUST not do anything at all; the choice of drinking to insanity or death is still there.
Honestly what? If people are going to post false information about what the steps do and do not state, on a public for profit non-aa forum to boot, well it deserves to be challenged.
And
I respectfully ask that you do not refer to me as buddy in the future.
