Are you a woman? I know a few kick-ass women's meetings in LA!

That said, none are super close to Downtown (I live in Venice) but late night traffic isn't bad at all.

But also, there are probably a ton of good meetings you can find downtown. LA has lots of sobriety. Be aware that California meetings can be a bit different if you're coming from the East coast.

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?

Did anyone here get sober and discover they were potentially self medicating symptoms of a neurodivergent brain? Ever since I got sober, I’ve have had MORE issues with executive functioning, racing brain, inability to focus. This was unexpected, as I thought I’d have more mental agility due to the fog lifting. Now my brain is running at full speed but I am unable to harness it. My brain is a honey badger. It doesn’t GAF.
Anyway, I’m now scheduled for an ADHD eval at the urging of my therapist.
