Hi thanks for reaching out. I’ve not been on the app much. Still sober, 1535 days now. I have just made a big life change. After 12 years Portugal I now found a job on a very small island in the Caribbean (Saba). It has been challenging, the move in itself and now settling in this new life is even harder. Needless to say, moving from one place to the other might improve some parts of life but it won’t solve any of the mental and emotional baggage i’m carrying around. Mental health is definitely not better, insomnia still the cause and effect of feeling often like garbage. Loneliness is different here. In Pt I was living in community but felt no connection with the others which is an awful type of loneliness. Here I’m really by myself, living alone, no family or friends around. Somehow it feels less awful. Anyway, also here I’m starting sessions with a therapist and to be honest, my employer is fantastic. They provide us with a professional coach and well being of the staff has highest priority. It’s a social work organization, where I work as vegetable gardener on the social garden with some people with ‘a distance to the labour market’, people with addictions etc. Me realizing I could easily be one of them, as matter of fact, 15 years ago, I actually was haha. So I guess I’m improving, but it’s fragile, a damn thin line….

Hi Bart,

thanks a lot for your post and these very interesting insights in your life. It sounds amazing… I can totally relate with the point that “we are always traveling or moving bringing ourselfs with us”.

Big hug and would always love to hear from you time to time!

[Mno]

Nice to hear from you Bart. Saba, wow! It’s beautiful but I doubt I could live in a place like that. I hope it will do you good. Happy for your therapy and a good employer. Wish you all the best.

Hi @Butterflymoonwoman -

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I’m doing well! I started a new CEO role and it is pretty tough. It is a faith based nonprofit for older adults. I’m so grateful that I made it back to my goal though. Working for a Board and not a for profit company (yuck!) I lost everything a few years ago and now I’m back. All because my Higher Power gave me an opportunity to be sober. I’m playing a lot of guitar these days. I’m working on composing new tracks for an album. I plan to record it in early 2026. It’s atmospheric guitar, no voice. Just instrumental. I need to stop binge eating and sugar is my pitfall…sigh. Nonetheless, I’m moving forward with gratitude!

Thanks for the shout out. Walnut harvest season. Last two weeks have picked up and bagged about 1900 pounds. Of course we have had help but I do my best to keep up where I am needed. Yesterday drove few hours away with 1200 ponds to sell. Met up with the hubby and had a nice dinner out and Evening and returned home today’. Put in a few hours of accounting. More busy than I like.

[Seb]

Sounds like a busy time. Well done on all your hard work.

[tailee17]

Thank you. I should be sleeping. Busy day again today. So kind of you to check in.
