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.
Hi, I am new to this but i would like to share my weekend with you. I am very lost and confussed and would like to hear some thoughts on my weekend,
I went out to a club with some friends had way too much than normal, lost my handbag with all my things in it and eneded up staying at a friends house colapsing on the sofa, i have no memory of the evening, but i feel worse as i was ment to be home by 11 to let my mum go home as she was looking after my daughter, Me and my mum cleared things up and i appologised for not going back when i should, or contacting her in anyway, however then for whatever reason i made a massive fight with my sister and totally turned on the world. I spoke to my friend who i went out with, she said we had a n amazing night and wants to do it all again! i want to curl up and hide from the world, i feel like such a failure to my mum my sister and most of all i feel like i let my lttle girl down and i cant forgive myself for that.

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...
I have a friend from out of state comeing soon...she and I party hardy together. Anyways, she know I keep trying to stop drinking, but wants us to just do it when she is here. She also says that I should be able to drink every now and then...she doesn't understand, that's all.
Anyways, my daughter hates me drinking, BUT when this person comes to town she says it's ok. The friend I am talking about is my daughter's boyfriends mom..sooo, this is the mess I'm in!
I just got to tell ya...guilt, like I said, will tear you down, so it's best to get up fast and hold your head high, and do what you have to do to look out for you.
When you have to ask "Why did I do it", and are having blackouts, it's a real serious time to look in the newspaper or do what I did, when I moved here I knew nobody, not even where the meetings were, so I called the local Chamber of Commerce.
I was surprised when he told me that was an alcoholic also, he picked me up that night, and took me to a meeting, where I got as meeting list, and other things for my area.
I have quite a few 24's behind me, but I knew that moving to a new place where nobody knew me, I would start again, I always was a traveler, just start to get into trouble in one town and time to move on.
But my best advice to you is as someone had said, take the test, find an AA meeting, go to one, you don't have to say anything just listen.
I hope all the best for you, and a happy and sober life ahead.
Your friend in sobriety,

The madness of drink, sounds as though you let everybody down including yourself.
And I think most here have done it at some time, me many times, but glad to say no more.
The reason your here is simple, you know you have a problem and you now want to find a way to deal with it, the easiest I believe most will tell you is don't drink.
This time you woke up in a place of safety, but even still your memory is blank, what happens when you wake up in the wrong place, or Maybe A & E, there is no pointing Kidding yourself Drinking can be dangerous in every way, so why not join us in our sobriety I can assure you its a far better world to be in.
As for your friend, well what she does with her life is up to her, you just think of yourself and family, because they are the most important things you will ever have, believe me.
I am surprised that mine are still with me, but I am so glad they are, and my Boys Just Love me Sober.
This time you turned on the World, if you carry on the World could turn against you.
There is plenty of help out there, take it
Good luck
