Do you have a sobriety plan?

If not, I'll PM you when I get home in about an hour with some info and links.

I don't mind getting my kit off, it's more the public speaking thing that spooks me. Smile

Depending on your level of alcohol use, medical supervision may well be a good idea. Quitting from a very heavy habit can be dangerous without having a doc on your team.

I'm the same. Stripping is easy but public speaking NOPE. I get stage fright.

But I get stagefright with stripping too if it's a group of people I don't know watching me. I couldn't be a stripper lol. It's a group of people I don't know watching that I can't do. Whether I'm speaking or whatever.

Wut?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

For the public speaking I recommend Toastmasters. For kicking alcaholism, talk to your doctor, but I'd recommend steering away from AA, it's no better than spontaneous remission as regards success (according to its last published usable statistics of members all the way back in the '80s).
