I’m on a work trip for the next 6 weeks in Vancouver and I don’t know anyone here. It’s only been a few days but I’m starting to feel a little low. Maybe jetlag, maybe just the sudden isolation. I’m also living in an area where there is a lot of opioid issues and also medical marijuana dispensaries and that’s feeling a little hard, like you can slip and no one will even know.
I’m considering going to a meeting nearby to try and make some friends and have a space to talk a bit. Just wanted to vent that this is hard.
I’m traveling in Germany and hit a meeting a couple nights ago. Didn’t realize how tense I already was till I sat down with that lot and shared. What a grounding relief it was.
Even halfway around the world, that burning desire and fellowship looked very much the same.
OMG the new comments have me revisiting this post, what a trip to look back and remember what an awful time that was for me mentally-I’m past it now! Miss that beautiful city in though
