The good news is that there are meetings all over - even in Las Vegas. All you have to do is pick up the phone!

Good luck, congrats on your 24.

There is a ton that you can do in Vegas without drinking, If you feel the need for a meeting just send Deserteyes a PM... he can tell you where the best meetings are in Vegas

I liked the T.I.E. Club near downtown.

Lot's of meetings and friendly members.

There is a lot to do besides drink.
Ask at your hotel desk for info.

Taking the helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon
is very interesting.

Hi it's not where you are it's how you react in a situation that's often a problem. If you can change your mindset you can change anything.

've been on Campral for six months now. It also helps with the physical symptoms that come from cravings. I have had great results. I do know of others who haven't.

I'm going to be in Vegas on Sunday for a concert.
There is so much to do and see there.
There is also alcohol everywhere.
Look at it like this ....... if you drink,
you'll miss out on all of the other good things that Vegas has to offer.
