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.
1. I am learning to filter out my own bullshit thanks to a few people who have gotten really good at calling me on it.
2. I am learning humilty (slowly) and that there is nothing to gain from allowing myself to be disturbed by the words of others.
3. I am learning that the old-timers really do know what they are talking about, and it is important to listen besides just hear. They are the ones throwing us the rope.
4. I like to try to help and get through to others when I am sober and able.
I am here to learn and grow, NOT to bleed to death in public. Drunk posts are missteps. I gain a thousand times more on the sober side of the fence.
Are YOU able to inspect your own motives with your posts. Ultimately, WHY are YOU here?

1. More generically: how others do it and to learn from it.
When I'm drunk:
- it really doesn't matter. When I wake up #1 again.
That was my initial motive but I find have learnt a lot about myself, other alcoholics and the fellowships of AA across the world plus a bit more history of how we got here. To me, this is a part of a never-ending journey and learning experience.
It's a wonderful addition to my life!

To be here when a newbie pops in who feels desperate, hurt and alone... Help them realize they are understood and that there is hope and help.
Here to listen, listen, listen and learn, learn, learn!
(and be bopped in the head when someone thinks I need it!)
