Alcohol was etched into my very soul, I think. I did not want to stop drinking. Yet I understood that if I didn’t cut back at least, I would die much sooner than necessary. And mostly I was sick of…

The Truth Behind the Statistics for Alcohol Awareness Month
Read more: The Truth Behind the Statistics for Alcohol Awareness MonthApril is Alcohol Awareness Month in the United States. Alcohol Awareness Month should be an important event considering current statistics of alcohol-related death, disease, and dependence, but statistics can be mind-numbing. When I see the number 95,000 representing annual deaths by alcohol abuse in the United States, it is hard to wrap around the significance…

Dreams Don’t Work Unless You Do
Read more: Dreams Don’t Work Unless You DoOne of the huge leaps toward sobrenity (that happy place in sober-serenity land) is discovering that the true rewards, the stuff that makes our spirits and bodies feel so very good, usually calls for some hard work. I know, I know, not what I wanted to hear, either. Sometimes that hard work is purely physical.…

A St Patrick’s Day Tribute to My Momentous Sobriety
Read more: A St Patrick’s Day Tribute to My Momentous SobrietyI’ve always identified as Irish because my parents told me I was a European Mut, but mostly Irish (even though ancestry claims I’m Scottish instead of Irish now). Oh boy did I exploit the idea that being Irish meant I had a drinking gene. Drink for good, bad, boredom, etc etc … St Patrick’s day used…

“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!!!!!!!”
