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 gave up drugs and smoking. Im not a big drinker but i used to be before i had my son. I never wanted to have to go the er drunk or anything like that. I try to be a good mother. Lately all i want to do i drink. I guess it just goes with bs about changing the way i feel. If i do drink ihave a oouple of beers not more than 3 regular size lol but since im in NA ive gotton advice to not drink at all. im new to this group and looking for input.

Don't swap one bad addiction for another. NO drugs or alcohol, ever is the way to go. If you drink it'll just make it easier for you to use drugs again.

Hope everything goes well for you.

AA and I would guess any 12 step program for drugs, suggests total abstinence from any/all mind altering drugs.
I've found through working a program I haven't had to substitute any drug for alcohol. I'm an alcoholic so a few isn't a possibility for me.

You are not an alchie yet, I believe. You are an addict. You are replacing your old addiction with something else. I am the queen of doing that. I do everything TOO HARD. When I was 2 months sober, I was working out 2x a day! You just find something to replace something else. It goes down way deeper and alcohol is only a part of it.

It's not bs about wanting to change the way we feel when we drink. You say your son is your world but you want to drink all the time? Do you see the flawed logic in those two sentences? Which is it. One or the other?

It's not our place to tell you whether you're an alcoholic or not. That's your call. But if you're having cravings to drink, you might want to look at that. I had to come to my own conclusions. Welcome to the board.

City chick I can so relate to that! I upped my workouts since getting sober. I don't think I'm over doing it, but, it's something I need to watch.
I got sober to be happy, joyous and free... And for the most part, i am. Progress not perfection!

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
