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, I was drinking away having what I thought was a jolly good time.
I was drinking with a friend who we shall call Br
I had known Br for years, he was a local character, what I would describe as a total Alcoholic Piss Head.
Red faced, long stragley hairs, few scars, scruffy, a true bum Br was
However I had been enjoying his Company for quite a few days, when during our conversation Br said "Us Alcoholics"
My brain thought Cheeky get Git, what does he mean "Us Alcoholics" how dare he bring me down to his level of depravity, I'm just a good heavy drinking Guy that likes Company.
Then it sank in, I thought, Br your right mate, I am a total Alcoholic Piss head, why else am I here, why else do I drink every day, why else am I sick in the morning, why else can I not refuse or get through a day without a drink, I am indeed an alcoholic drinking with my Alcoholic friends.
I did not stop that day, but it was my point of realisation that I had a very serious problem.
Br is sadly still drinking and he does not yet know, how 2 words helped me change my life, he probably would not understand,and I am not sure that I have the cheek to explain it to him.
But he hit home, and he lost a drinking buddy, he is proably still trying to work out what ever came into me LOL
Just wanted to share this, how about any of you, when did you decide you were indeed an alcoholic

I am not trying to make it seem like rainbows and unicorns but it isn't the end of the world. My case was so severe I was almost hospitalized because I was so sick and in so much pain. After nearly a week of seeing multiple doctors I finally went to the urgent care again and they did a pelvic exam and knew right away. She did a swab test just to make sure but didn't even wait for the...

Hi,So i just got my diagnosis yesterday. Its been very rough. My husband and i have been married for almost 15 years. We have 2 kids.This past year, we decided to try the lifestyle. I admit it was a lot of fun. We went to parties and clubs and spent time at a resort. We always practiced safe sex and only had intimacy with a few couples.However my doctor reminded me that i might have had this...
I've shared that I got sober trying to get my mother sober. We had done an intervention on her and she was in an out-patient treatment center. I was going to family night every week, one night my brother confronted me. I downplayed it, said I don't drink like I used to, just wine with dinner. Well, he didn't stop there; he remembered how much wine I used to drink with my dinner.
Of course there's more to it than that, but that's it in a nutshell; Nov 15 1994. It was on a Tuesday and that became my first day sober.
I beieve that realisation is perhaps the begining, followed by acceptance and then overcoming denial.
For me this was the point that I realised, but had not accepted, but it was a very big starting point for me.
Thanks all, it is good for me to read and share
