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...
Thanks

Have you gone to AA? Drunks helping drunks is (in my opinion) the best way to go. Who else would understand better than someone who has been there. That way times like today you could call someone and go to a meeting.
Oh the mind games how they play hell, me I am nearly 2 years sober and I still wonder why I can't have just the odd one, I of course know the answer, and its the answer that stops me going there. They say you have to run the film forward sometimes, just imaging having JUST 4 beers, run the film that far and then keep running the film because you know how it will go.
We are I am afraid alcoholics, we don't do 4 beers, maybe once we did, but now no longer.
And believe me the rewards of not drinking far out wiegh the reward of drinking (if there are any)
Stick with it, soon you will start counting months not days and weeks, next it will be years, then you will wonder why you ever bothered
Good luck
I don't know if you have given AA and the 12 steps a try, but it may be something you might want to look into...i know for me...it had given me some much needed guidance and lottsa support.....and without the connection to these people that understand what I am going thru....I probably would have given in to my desire...and today i would have my 4 pack, tomorrow would have been a 12 pack and by friday I would have a delivery truck full and another on the way....
sooooo....yep.....I think you are right on target....It is our illness!!!!Hugggggs
