Hi everyone
I was looking on the internet to find some AA groups in my area and am having a hard time. I came across this site and started to read everybodies story. I can relate to alot of the feeling but still question wether I have an addiction to alcohol.
I am tired of the quilt I have after having a night of drinking, which could be about every other night. I have two bueatiful children and don't want them to follow in my footsteps. I want to start living my life in a sober way but am terrified that it wont be fun or something like that.
thanks

Hi Dria .
If you look up Alcoholics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings on your computer. This should help you find a meeting in your area and answer a few questions you may have.
Or you can phone Alcoholics Anonymous it would be in your local phonebook and I am sure they would only be too happy to help you with any inquiries.
Alcoholism is a Cunning, Bafferling and Powerful disease that tells you, you dont have it. I used to think like you when I first stopped drinking .What about all those good times. But somewhere I started to drink right through the good times.
And alcohol started costing me more than money. I started to wake up or (come to) also with feelings of Guilt, Shame, and Remorse. A lot of the time not remembering what I had done while under the influence of alcohol. {This is called blackouts}.
Things like whom I was with and why. Who had I abused .mostly verbally. My tongue could cut you to pieces. And its usually the ones we love the most who are in the firing line. Also who I had phoned and what I had said to them. I lied a lot, done a lot of things I would normally not do .It just goes on and on.
Today though there are not enough hours in the day to do what I would like to do. I have found a new freedom and a new happiness. And things have happened beyond my wildest dreams. This is all available to you. I am not immune from lifes troubles .But I seem to handle them a lot better without the alcohol. So please take that first step and ring .A.A. Keep in contact through your posts let us know how things are .
God bless .
