hey Percussion! i'm in Milwaukee, so not too far from you. sobering up in Wisconsin is quite a challenge but the great part of it is that AA is so active here. i really think hitting a meeting would help you a lot right now. meetings help me relax and give me a place where i feel comfortable and can give voice to my frustrations in a place where people actually understand how i feel. give it a shot. if you go to a meeting and it works, then great! if you go and you don't feel better, then at least you gave it a shot. go with an open mind and heart and you may be pleasantly surprised.
