    many of use our hobbies, new or old, to keep our hands and minds busy when our disease is particularly active in our heads

    • Thank you, Charlie.  I try to do that too.  Or go for a walk, or meditate.  I've also noticed that after having a light meal with something non-alcoholic to drink the craving goes away, as if my mind had been twisting my need for nourishment into a craving for alcohol.

    welcome karla, you will find people who are willing to help here

    meghan and others, this is a forum, not a meeting. responses tend to be slower here, if at all. another menu tab at the top has meetings, open 24/7.

    abstinence means don’t drink at all ever. recovery is learning how to live life on life’s terms while avoiding the triggers that made us want to drink.

    hi kat and welcome. not the first time i’ve heard of someone getting ahead by tearing someone else down, because it’s easier than doing it on your own merit. i lost a good job for the same reasons.

    most ppl become alcoholics because they don’t like the emotions they are feeling, you came to the right place.

    Hi josh,
    i have a friend who says, ‘have a great day, unless you have other plans,’ after he speaks. it used to irk me, but after a while, i began to understand. i have a choice. about which baggage, worries, and resentments i’m going bring into my day. also think about renting out space in your head, and who your renting it to.

    first, i refer…[Read more]
