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.
For me, the spiritual solution to drinking and life problems, the steps, the people really truly caring and growing, the commaradarie and laughter, the feeling of belonging, being of service, the hope I get from others, the feeling of purpose for being able to pass something onto others, the learning, the friendships, the recover, sobriety, learning to listen and share, opening up, building self confidence by participating and serving, learning to laugh at myself and accept my imperfection, feeling part of the human race, the love...
2) I am glad to be alive.
3) I get to help others to receive the same gift.
Love what it says in the big book about this (pg152/153):-
"Yes, there is a substitute and it is vastly more than that. It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous. There you will find release from care, boredom and worry. Your imagination will be fired. Life will mean something at last. The most satisfactory years of your existence lie ahead. Thus we find the fellowship, and so will you.....
... Among them you will make lifelong friends. You will be bound to them with new and wonderful ties, for you will escape disaster together together and you will commence shoulder to shoulder your common journey. Then you will know what it means to give of yourself that others may survive and rediscover life. You will learn the full meaning of "Love thy neighbour as thyself"
This is my experience - what a miracle!
