Hello, SR members and advisors

Greetings- joined yesterday after following along for over three years. I'm anxious, but looking forward to getting to know you, having a support system and maybe even being helpful to others. I've been a weekend binge drinker since college. I'm 42, now. Sober for three months here and there, but nothing more than that. Weight gain, memory loss, embarrassing nights out, strained relationships ... those and more have brought me to this point. Pretty selfish and immature of me. I would prefer to use the AVRT method. Anyone in Nashville have suggestions for local contacts/groups? Leaning on SR and being mindful of HALT will be key for me. As will exercise and keeping myself busy during weekends. Thank you for reading this now and being there for me in the past. On day four.

Hi, Write! I've found the combination of AVRT and SR works pretty well for me. Best wishes!

Hi Write

Welcome to the posting side

AVRT is actually not meeting based though. Their premise is all you need is in the books

Welcome Write, glad you joined and are posting. Took me a year before i officially joined a year ago this month.

Staying active here on SR has helped me tremendously!

Look forward to getting to know you as well.
