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.

read my journal. i am shocked given my life experiences to find how little i know about people. i do not trust and that has been an impediment to getting and staying sober. today, i have a very limited circle of friends (including my sponsor) that i trust but this will always be an issue with me. d.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
