It's been a while since my last post...so much going on. Miracles and so much more. I am in the middle of sorting things out in my personal life, a move, letting go of toxicity in all facets. This is very serious, if you want to stop drinking you cannot spend time with friends who drink. It is a disaster and a relapse waiting to happen as an old-timer told me.
I am tired of struggling with this and so that's it, I absolutley cannot spend time with friends who drink while I am in my Change my life for the better mode. These people will bring you down. God has given me so much and I am praying every day for better days. Health and Sobriety. I am starting a major Detox and am cleaning and Greening up my body. It is a calling that I am listening to and it the only way to insure my desire for Booze is completely eliminated. I am looking for support on this detox mission.
Basic Steps to Recovery
1. Admit you have a problem. You do not have to admit to being powerless over alcohol. You do have to admit that you have a problem and that you want to change. What constitutes a problem is determined by the level of detriment that the consumption of alcohol wrecks havoc on your health, your successful functioning in life--in your job, in your relationships, etc.
2. Determine your allies as soon as you make the decision to quit. Who is in your life that will support you in your decision? Surround yourself with the people in your life that will assist you in your decision to quit, not people that will sabotage your sobriety.
3. Make a commitment. Don't be afraid to imagine yourself sober for the rest of your life. It is true that you take one day at a time. It is true that some days you take one moment at a time. You also need to have emotional acceptance that it is a good thing that you will not ever be drinking again.
4. Avoid the labels. It is not necessary to announce to everyone that you are an alcoholic, or a recovering alcoholic. Share your victories with your allies, as they are the encouraging ones. Know that you do not have a disease, and you are not sick--quitting drinking will make you a much healthier person.

Hangover: Know It Too Well
"The Hangover" (portrait of Suzanne Valadon, by Toulouse-Lautrec)
A hangover (pronounced /ˈhæŋoʊvər/) (veisalgia) or delayed alcohol induced headache describes the sum of unpleasant physiological effects following heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages. The most commonly reported characteristics of a hangover include headache, sensitivity to light and noise, lethargy, dysphoria, diarrhea and thirst, typically after the intoxicating effects of the alcohol begin to wear off. While a hangover can be experienced at any time, generally speaking, a hangover is experienced the morning after a night of heavy drinking. In addition to the physical symptoms, a hangover may also induce psychological symptoms including heightened feelings of depression and anxiety.

Booze a Journey of Healing: An Introduction
Booze: A journey of Healing is a definitive step towards a more than 7 year journey towards behavior adjustment, Healing, Wellness and most importantly SOBRIETY "A Day at A Time".
Booze: A Journey of Healing is an attempt at openness and honesty. It is an attempt to bring together people into a discussion and exploratory treatment methods around the issue of
alcohol addiction and abuse and to find solutions towards Wellness and Sober living. For those who have struggled with rehab and who have struggled with the 12 Step Alcoholics Anonymous program. For those whose life conditions may cause them to drink excessively, share your stories of Hope, Faith, Determination and Love and reach out to people that desire Change in their lives, that desire to change their relationship with alcohol.
Booze a Journey of Healing works towards bringing together those who are suffering in silence, for those who are in and out of the rooms of (Alcoholics Anonymous) For those who seek alternative ways of dealing with their addictive and destructive behavior. From one to the other, that desire Sober Living who do not embrace shame and humiliation but rather a healthy pride towards self actualization and responsible behavior. Let us learn from the past towards a brighter future heal the hurt and learn to spread love and joy. This site is a way that other "people who have been challenged with "alcohol abuse" and "alcoholism" can connect with each other and find solutions. Let us take this journey together.
There are alternative ways towards holistic living and there are practitioners, healers and enlightened individuals out there who can help us achieve a more balanced way of living. The answer is also in Ourselves I have been journaling for many years now and I know that a Power greater than myself has pushed me towards Booze a Journey, there is a reason for it. My life has changed and is in the process of heavy change due to the fact that I am dealing with personal health issues without fear and with enlightenment. God does not give us what we cannot handle, we have the Power to Change and to Heal.
On this site there will be some things that you may agree and disagree with that's ok. My desire here is to explore and find wellness, healing and recovery from bad lifestyle choices. We are bombarded with advertisements promoting BOOZE and we live in a culture for which drinking though widely accepted has destroyed many lives in one way or another. How many places can you purchase Booze in your neighborhood, how many bars are in your neighborhood? Think about it?
We live in a mass culture that does not promote healthy nutrition, eating habits, mind/body/soul awareness. We have to fight for that awareness. We have to fight to eat and live healthy. I have struggled with anxiety and depression, high stress and other life conditions and unfortunately turned to alcohol to reduce some of those issues. A drink over a business meeting, a drink at a networking event, a drink at dinner, a drink at the Pub several times a week , a drink in a brown bag this is just insanity. No matter a good diet and even exercise, if heavy booze consumption is in the mix this is going to be a problem. I have met several people in the rooms. athletic types as well, who speak on this fact. I have suffered alot needlessly because I did not fully understand how to get to the root cause of my drinking this caused other problems in my life. So many people out there understand this and still struggle with this addiction and or are fearful of facing it in it's truth.
Let the site speak for itself as we journey out of alcohol abuse and other unhealthy habits. Take Good Care of Your Self and those that you Love. You deserve it and so do they.
