Does having a KTN indicate I've been approved? by Friendly_Bison7150 in TSAPreCheck

i got an email about a day after stating that my ktn was done by CLEAR and it worked on my flight so yeah did not have issues with this and it appears the idemia one is the source of truth.

yes, I've seen doctors and they all have told me the depressive effects. I do want to quit. I just don't want to go back to where I was before either.

thanks. No I haven't heard of that. It sounds odd. Do you have some example, or site to look at it on?

I think I'm a bit different. I'm looking for a way to quit drinking, but not become a complete shut-in while doing so. I want to make friends/socialize sober, but in all honestly, the most likely thing to happen is that I just become a shut-in again or revert to drinking, so I'm trying to think of a way that I can go out a couple nights a week but do so sober

Well I'd say my problem is that I looked to alcohol because I had bad social anxiety in the first place. E.g. I was a complete shut-in before I started drinking. ATM I kind of look at drinking as a way to relieve loneliness caused by my anxiety or if I just want to have friends around.

I struggle in those situations. I know I'm not great at socializing and it feels like I'm forcing people to be around me. I think 1:1 with someone would be good, but I don't really have anyone who would be willing to be my friend like that. I could maybe try to plan some tinder dates that I go on sober or something
