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 have had a lot of issues with trust for the better part of my adult life, and I am 39. I have had betrayals by boyfriends, business partners, you name it - I've gotten fucked over. A close friend has told me that I am just "too nice". But I think there is more to it than that. I can't understand why I have been hurt so many times - I don't think I deserve a ton of bad karma because I haven't lived my life that way. I have always tried to be mindful from a karmic perspective. Now, I embark on a new chapter in my life and I really do not know who to trust! Its very frustrating. I don't really trust myself because I have made some bad decisions in the past - so why trust me. I have decided that the only one I can trust is God or my Higher Power - they are interchangeable as I practice no organized religion - and, I trust my dog. Thats about it. Any of you have issues with trust?? Trust me - your stories will be held in confidence. Just needing some insight here.

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...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
