Dgillz- I'm just north of Milwaukee. Sobering up in Mobile is bad but doing it up near Milwaukee is amazingly hard! There are more bars and liquor stores than almost anything else. They even sell hard liquor in the grocery stores and gad stations and it's really cheap.
I got to AA on occasion. There's a club up there that hosts meetings and is open 7 days a week that I'm going to join. Kind of like Alano Club here.
