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.

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 still have friends out there that I know would welcome me back, I can't blame them they are sick and in denial, they have not got to a rock bottom or they have no desire to stop taking.
They say this is a selfish programme and I am afrad it is, I have strict rules with my old buddies, they are welcome to see me, but woithout drink, some do from time ti time, normally when they are broke and in need of a meal, I don't mind this, maybe they will see how much my life is improving not drinking, whether they do or don't thats u to them, so long as my message is clear I DO NOT DRINK and I DO NOT WISH TO.
Stop beating yourself up, reach out for help, be it AA, your doctor or a self help group like ths.
Just don't give up giving up, many don't get it right to start with. But you must do something to romove you from temptation, you need to set new boundries with your old buddies, to hell that they think you will come back, make it 100% clear that is not what you want.
And you are going forward, we learn from our mistakes, you have not given up so you are far from going backwards.
Let me know when you reach 2 weeks sober this time and lets go from there
Thinking of you Good Luck

I like coming to ds because reading these posts and listening to what others go thru and how things have worked for them...(also AA and the 12 steps)....eventually it sinks into my thick skull.....
you know what you want......just keep coming back.....you will get it.....Take it easy on yourself and enjoy the days you have sober.....
After my last relapse...I was devestated...and I was talking to a man at a meeting.....and he said "you may have lost days but you have not lost all the knowledge you have gained and this will only make you stronger......"
Just keep coming back....
Weren't you making plans to go away to formal treatment a while back? What happened there?
In the meantime, as they say, keep coming back, but it only works if YOU work it!!!!
