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.

oh i dont even know where to start..but basically my mum is an alcoholholic and quite badly dependant on alcohol..a few weeks ago things had a turn for the worst an she ended up in hospital. It was at this time that she decided that, that was it she was going to get help and change her life around. However still lingering with huge problems himself is my little brother..obviously her son whom is extremely addicted to drugs and is completely fucked up caused most of the problems for my mum to start with. She worried and worried over what would and will happen to him so she turned to the drink hance the dependancy for it she thought it was taking away all of her problems.(obviously it wasnt) Plus everything else.
Anyway mum decided she wanted help , so we got her help through a so called professional group through the hospital called caat..otherwise known as crisis alcohol assessment team, who gave her a plan and drugs for a while anixety drugs i think etc and gave her a place to stay for a while because after being in hospital she couldnt go back to the enivronment she was living in with my little brother. So over these few days my sister and i talked and helped mum through it. but mum made some decisions of her own..that it was time for her to get out of where she was..quit her job as they were assholes towards her adding to the stress factors and start a new life.
WE found her a new place quit her job and moved her there. She was beginning to feel good about herself and feeling that yes she could do things with out relying on alcohol. Things were getting even better then when my little brother said he was going to rehab to fix the things he had done, a great hekp and support for mum to try and stop the worry. Sure enough he went. But he only went for one night. Came out and gee what a surprise took more drugs and got onto my mum(tonight).
This is when she couldnt take the pressure anymore..she was doing soo well had been nearly three weeks that she had no alcohol pretty good i thouhgt and for doing it alone..however things got bad after my little brother left her tonight and she struggled so badly with the alcohol but didnt want to give in so the first time in her life rung this 'caat' team who said they would help her in times of need, thinking that yes i can do it and get through it with help she rung. However she rung them and they turned her away and said no they couldnt help her at all. So BANG rejection after everything she just lost it big time and turned to the drink..thats when i got the phone call from her in tears and all over the place.What am i supposed to do in a situation like that when i live 7 hours away i felt sooo helpless. Went round and round talking to her trying to calm her down to get to the bottom of her worry which in the end i did...my little brother as per usual. After and hour on the phone to her i managed to convince her to pack some things and to get a taxi over to my nanas (her mums) house....talked to her there to make sure she got there safely and thats it..I know she is safe there and that my nana will look after her and that she cannot drink anymore alcohol and do or attempt anything stupid like try and take her own life which has happened before so there was nothing else i could do so here i am......
So angry and frasturated that these so called professional are there to help and yet they killed her they crashed everything she had worked towards. The one time my mum has ever admitted to needing help and asking for help they turned her away..I dont knwo what to do.........

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If he sees another clean and sober person, he won't know what to do and may try it himself 'his decision'
All of our love from the U.S.
