Hey guys!
Yea so it’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything, eh? I’ve missed you all! I want to know how everyone is doing! Here are some updates on my end:
For those that don’t know I recently had a big move (halfway across the country). Which was a good thing because I hated where we were. BUT now I’m back in my hometown so there are some significant challenges. 1: My family - lots of triggers and they pretty much all drink (a lot). 2: Every time I leave my house I’m driving by an old hangout/bar/liquor store I used to frequent. 3: I’m nervous about running into people I know. Particularly people from my past that I want NOTHING to do with. So yea, triggers all around just from the move itself and “new” location.
Other stresses: We had to get a second vehicle right after the move. Which is great because now I can go places…like back to work. Going back to work was exciting because I needed some adult interaction. I stayed home with my son for a year and a half. Exciting - but stressful. My husband just got out of the military so we are dealing with the transition to civilian life as well.
So yea, basically our whole lives changed in a matter of weeks.
Needless to say, I haven’t had any time to write in the past 2 months. Gah just typing that out sucks. I’m hoping to get back at it soon. I have about 16,000 words and I’ve only scratched the surface. I don’t want to lose my momentum.
Anyway! Thanks for listening to me ramble. I hope everyone is doing well. I’m still here, still sober, and I’m going to try to be more social now that things have settled a bit!!
