It took me a little while to find one my insurance would cover, but I would have been willing to pay for it myself. It was worth it. And the AA meetings that followed are a Godsend. I am so grateful. I pray for your success with this!

I’m Beth and I’m an alcoholic. One tool that no one mentioned is the “Life Recovery Bible,” which has references and stories and helps to the 12 steps. I found it at a salvage store years ago and figured it was probably out of print, but when I went online to try to find one for a friend, I found it. It is tender and gentle and I love it.

I’m Beth, alcoholic. Jamie if you have insurance I really recommend detox. You don’t have to have the shakes to benefit from it. It helped me a lot. Call your insurance co and see what they would pay before you make a decision. Remember AA meetings are always free, so that’s your other good option. I am going to concentrate completely on AA…[Read more]

I’m Beth and I’m an alcoholic. Nicki I’m so glad you have a sponsor. I have also just started and I don’t have a sponsor yet because we have very few in-person meetings in my town, but I’ll get to go to one tomorrow. I doubt if your sponsor will give up on you. Just talk to her. Tell her that you’re scared she’ll give up on you. Ask for h…[Read more]

Just getting started. Before I went to detox last week I was terrified. I drank in the car all the way to the detox center. (My husband drove.) Now I can say I am honestly excited about this journey. I went to my intake at the local therapy center and have started my AA meetings. I feel hope again.

Jamie, I am Beth. I am an alcoholic. I had been drinking socially for about 20 years, but a few of life's tragedies threw me into a tailspin and I started drinking more and more, until I was drinking all day long and didn't know how to stop. I tried to "taper off," but that didn't work. I was scared to go cold turkey because I would get the…[Read more]

Beth replied to the topic Looking for help, for the first time in the forum Alcohol Recovery Group 7 years, 6 months ago
Melinda, I am Beth and I am an alcoholic. If you have insurance, I suggest detox. If you have a job, take your vacation to do it. It is so worth it for the help. If you don’t have insurance, remember thousands of people have achieved sobriety just through AA meetings and sponsorships. I just got out of detox, went to my first outpatient inta…[Read more]

I’m Beth and I’m an alcoholic. All the power that there is comes from the Higher Power. It’s a continual process of submitting to that Higher Power, every day, every hour, even every minute sometimes. We have NO power of our own. That’s why trying to do it ourselves doesn’t work. When you really want power to do something, the answer is to s…[Read more]

Went to my first session of “intensive outpatient counseling” today, after being in Detox last week.
