Hello, I've posted before and maybe I'm just a little confused. I wish that there was a regular chat room to go to. I've been trying to stop and I keep slipping up. I truly want to stop. It's affecting my life. I can't hold down a job and I feel suicidal. I've alienated all my friends so now I really don't have...

I am new to this group and I've been struggling with alcoholism since I was seventeen. Is there anyone here I can exchange messenger names with. I really need some support or at least someone to talk to when I want to drink. It's really hard to talk to my family and friends about it.

I am a mother of a 34 year old daughter who just got out of 101 days of re hab last week and has already relapsed. Is this enough of a concern that she should go BACK to re hab? Or is this maybe normal and needs to be sure and get to her meetings? She so far is refusing to go back to rehab, she says she made a mistake a...

Hi Al-Anon, looking at the posts on the front page here we seem to have done Steps 1, 2 and 3 recently so I figured we might be on step 4 now. Quote: 'How can I benefit from doing an inventory? I want to relieve myself of those self-defeating attitudes and behaviors that block me from living life t...

Hello. I'm new her and as of tomorrow I will be one week away from a year - sober and clean. Because my first AA birthday includes the leap year of 2008, therefore 366 days of sobriety, I was wondering if there was any folklore attributed? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I didn't see any Al-Anon shares here today, but we're on Step 2 next. What came to mind when reading this passage was some things I read about training dogs. Without expert coaching, sometimes the animal feels 'over-responsible' ! I so relate to that. Now that I have a Higher Power ( which i...

I'm new here - obviously. I feel strongly that working the steps is essential in staying sober. I attend a 7am meeting everyday that reads from the Twelve and Twelve 3 days a week, the Big book for two and has one day of open discussion. Without this structure I probably wouldn't have done the reading I...
