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.

Good for you. It is all about learning new ways of handling old situations and every time you do what you just did you will move further away from the urge to drink.

Well Done.

Awesome!!!!
I was just speaking with a woman in my home group this am after our meeting about this kinda thing.
Craving hits.....do something. Do something instead of drinking, or thinking of drinking. Eat, walk, run, shop, call a friend. Just do it....
And don't pick up no matter what. The moment passes and....it's safe territory again.

Sushi, Miso and a cup a green tea, way better than a cup of Saki.
