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.

Just some of the gifts of sobriety - comfort, companionship and peace of mind and heart. Happy Christmas to you, Rivalino.

It's pretty good and they are there for us all if we work for them.

For those who are suffering tonight, keep reaching out for help, it's never too late nor too far away. Some of us have had to know much pain before we were ready and willing to find a new way.

Nice post:-) Merry Christmas, happy Tuesday. Just another day in sobriety and GOD I'm grateful. Grateful that its 318 p.m. and I didnt wake up hung over on christmas morning with my three little kids. Grateful I could be present while they opened theirs:-) Sobriety is my biggest gift to myself, and though they don't know it, thank GOD, to them too.

I will second that! Sobriety this Christmas is my greatest gift from God, myself, and all my friends and family who have supported me at times when that support must have been very difficult. This Christmas I am alive, I am sober, and I wish a peaceful and sober Christmas to everyone!
