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.
I'm always the strong one...I know I can kick this so why the f^ck am I allowing it to kill me?!!
Just venting, people with real deadly illness like cancer breathing for life, here I'am drinking mine away.. Ya makes sense! I need to wake the F up.

My last drink was June 9 12
I am a very strong willed and minded person, Problem is that I had a real problem asking for help. I would rather have died than ask for help. But the issue is that i needed help, alot.
By asking for Help I began the process of recovery.
I started going to meetings daily and was able to put enough room between me an booze to make a disconnect. Its like the death star in Star Wars. If you can get far enough away the tractor beam of Alcoholism has less pull.
The pull never seems to totally go away , but today I work on a few things and I can mitigate it.
Get your as to a meeting and unless your as falls off go to one daily. If your as falls off... pick it up and take it to a meeting.
