by the way - im2sweet4u1983, i love your signature!

hi all - i just wanted to get some insight into this. i dont have a lot of friends...its basically just me and my husband and our baby. actually, my husband works so much, its really just me and my daughter. when my husband has time off, we dont go out much, never go to bars, etc...so its pretty hard for us to meet people. and anyway, it seems that everyone i do meet wouldnt really mesh very well into mine or my husbands lifestyle so making friends doesnt happen very often.
anyway, i was out yesterday and i ended up seeing this girl i knew from high school. she has a young baby, her husband does the exact same thing mine does, and shes lonely and in need of a friend, too.
heres what im worried about - shes a recovering addict and so is her husband. she relapsed really bad about a year ago and was out for a few months. shes doing great now and seems to be on track (from what i gathered in our 20 min conversation). i dont know how to say it, i guess...i just worried about making a friend, i think. especially someone with such a similar past as mine. does anyone have any advice, thoughts, suggestions, etc for me? maybe im crazy and over thinking this. maybe im worried that being around someone thats got the same issues as me would be a bad influence. i dont know...im just confused i think!!

I hope you are well, too. ...I also am getting married, sometime next year, Steve is the guy I told you about on the woman's board when I was so sick, he was there no matter what and still is, he must love my hair on some days (UGH). Gotta keep on going and keep on living as long as it is in the plan.......PEACE
