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 remember as a small boy a teacher told the class not to think about a pink polar bear. Of course the first thing to come to our young minds was a pink polar bear. That is similar to trying not to think about drinking. I am on day two. In any given week I work three days a week and don't drink on those days so time wil tell.
A big test will be when I am in Mexico. I take a yearly trip to a resort in Mexico where the drinking is usually out of the box. That will be a real test. So here I go. Talk later.
When I reluctantly decided that I would have to stop drinking, acceptance was the key.
I accepted that no matter what happened and no matter where I was, I just could not drink safely and sobriety was the only option. The other thing was that I could not have done it without going to AA meetings.
My suggestion to you is to be fully committed to sobriety before you leave for Mexico and to have some sort of support mechanism for when you are there. Otherwise, it is likely to be “Day 1 again”.
Good luck, Mexico would test my peanut allergy for sure HAHAHA
