    Finding the Right Team

    I’ve never been very active in social media. Facebook has mostly been an easy way to share pictures of my kids with family and friends back home. I’m not even sure what Twitter is. But a little over a year ago, at one of the lowest points of my life, I found the support that…

    127 days and counting

    A friend asked me last week if I was really never going to drink again. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. I’m on a 12 month HSM but would have chosen lifetime if the option had existed. When I joined HSM I was at that magical place where I was really ready to…

  • Shutting Down

    Shutting Down

    Good Morning All! So we’ve all commented on how our biggest trigger for drinking is the reward thing….. I worked so hard today I deserve a glass of wine, I’m doing so well at not drinking I deserve a glass of wine, I’m such a great self sacrificing mom I deserve a glass of wine…..etc…

    Community

    Still Here I’ve been reading a lot (about disease, cure and the role of community) and some things are starting to come together for me. I’ve never been comfortable with using the word alcoholic to describe myself and I’ve never accepted the idea of alcoholism as a disease until now. By all definitions I am…

    Drinking Gambrinus Dry

    When I first retired from my long and illustrious drinking career, I realized that one of the things that was important to my staying happily dry was remembering why I used to love drinking. I needed to look back at my whole story from the beginning, not just focus on the end. I needed to…

  • Alcoholic Analogy: Pickles and Cucumbers

    Alcoholic Analogy: Pickles and Cucumbers

    The following was written in 2015 as one of the first posts I shared in the process of blogging my way sober. I was about six weeks alcohol-free and found the “cucumber to pickle” alcoholic analogy helpful in explaining why I could not drink moderately ever again. If you’re drinking too much too often and…

    Life is a Battlefield

    Sorry….still spewing forth post after post…. it seems to help…. seems to be necessary I have always been a fighter. When I was young I had to learn to fight for everything.

We are current and former members of the BOOM Rethink the Drink community where we also blog privately, in an anonymous, supportive forum. If you’re drinking too much too often Find us  HERE  for connection and support when you need it. Life is too short to waste it being wasted.

“It was a random day of internet searching that brought me to Boozemusings Blog and to Boom Community, and my life has been changed by it.  I needed some kind of “epiphany” for a mind change, and I have learned things about alcohol and its physical effects that have given me that kind of enlightenment.  I check in several times a day and it is like meeting with my family.  The resources here are incredible, and inexhaustible.  I have quit lit books, etc.  Will check out some of the other resources in others’ responses, but for me, Boom has been the answer.  I feel it has to do with the tireless work of Boom’s creators.  Thank you, Boom!!!!!!!”

If you’re “sober curious” …If you are drinking too much too often and want to stop or take a break… Talk to Us.
