Work on quitting drinking and learning to sit through distressing emotions until they pass. Breathe.

Welcome, Jack!

I've been sober a few years, but I still come here a lot. Alcohol is cunning, baffling, powerful--and everywhere!

Welcome.

My insight? Learn.
Learn why you got where you are.
Learn how to get out.
Learn how to stay out.

Lots to learn and there's lots of "schools" . You can get an associates degree here, a bachelor degree at AA, a Masters in therapy, and a Doctorate by doing all.

Go for the gold. Put as much work into solving this problem as you have in creating this problem. Kill it and kill it for GOOD.

Welcome Jack

you'll find a lot of support and encouragement here. The only indight I have for you right now is your new life starts when you put down that bottle.

If you've been drinking a while it may be best to see your Dr before you do that

Welcome,
This is a great place, maybe a good place to start is joining the January class. A great group of people just starting this great journey.

Welcome magnum jack,
SR was the missing piece in my plan. I found knowledge, support, compassion and understanding here. Hope you do as well

Glad you're here, amigo.

I hear that there is some great AA in Nashville, if that is the plan of recovery you pursue.

I go to meetings in Memphis and in Knoxville.

Please hang around and let us know how your doing.
