Can you explain what you mean by "sober getaway place"? Do you mean a place for rehab or a place you can chill for a weekend without being surrounded by alcohol?

If you're gonna try and get away for a weekend. Get somewhere further away. I spent a weekend a 100 or so miles from my house a few months ago just to chill out and get away from everything for a bit.

JTS - I've been in VA most of my life. What about the mountains like somewhere near Harrisonburg? Aside from JMU, that place is pretty bible belt-ish. Maybe a B&B? Or even up on Afton Mountain for a cabin, or down to Nelson County, no bars there. Just pick anywhere pretty and rural, that should do it.

The outskirts of Williamsburg have some nice B&Bs. So much so that my wife and I took our 1 year old there to get away from things on 12/31/99 (just in case the sky fell or what have you). She doesn't drink and neither did I those several days.
