Chicago. Which I absolutely love.
I grew up in a small beach side tourist town. I mean it wasn’t tiny but the locals mostly knew each other. If you had kids in school you knew all the parents. :rofl:
Here I am just a nameless face in the crowd of millions which is so nice. No body knows my addiction or sobriety story. I can be me without having to explain who I used to be.
We live just far enough away from the city that my daughter goes to an amazing school where she is excelling.
It’s nice. Never thought I’d be a big city girl🥰

This is a small town of maybe 10,000 people all know eachother and I have 2 kids, but I moved here 3 years ago and do not know anyone except my mum and her wife. I am also a nameless face and have purposefully not made effort to get to know people here because I do not want to be talked about lol… that’s the last thing I need! Already befriended 2 druggys and I had to nip that in the bud, made my drinking worse and also my habit for weed worse too. So now I am keeping myself to myself because I am safer that way. Definitely love that no one knows me.

My town was about 15,000 in the winter but in the summer it grew to about 200,000 so in the summer you never knew anyone :rofl:
I was born and raised there so I knew just about everyone. They knew everything about me. They knew me when I was drinking, drugging, knew me when I was a bar fly. They saw me struggling to get sober for years. Doubted me when I finally got sober.
It was so hard to leave because that is home. It always will be. My whole family is there.
Eventually we will buy land out in the woods and build our farm. Mostly just waiting for my girl to get into highschool.
I want animals not people in my life. I have met a few people online that live in or around the city but haven’t met in person yet. They are also living life in sobriety. But I haven’t decided if our personalities mesh well. I’m weird and really dislike people and refuse to be friends with someone just because they are sober too.

I am trying to be more grateful for the good things about Nebraska: Cost of living, baby cows, the chance to farm without owning acreage.

I am California girl. It’s in my blood. I miss being able to drive to the mountains, the beach and the desert, all in one day.

So true,I got back into hiking and backpacking,and leave town as much as possible.

What does MD stand for?

Maryland,

Oh and Nova can mean northern Virginia or nova Scotia lol

Originally I’m from Pa.

I’m currently in Northern Virginia. Its nice here but hella expensive,

But career plans can lead me elsewhere at this point. I’m aiming for where its decent cost of living and at least luke warm in the winter

So beautiful there…

I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
