"Look at this, it's me, walking away"
--REM, The Boy In the Well
I find myself, as I'm working on recovery and becoming a new person who is not hurt by alcoholism, feeling an extreme aversion to my "old" life. People and activities I used to embrace no longer make sense. I think that's a good sign, but it's overwhelming and I don't know how to tell people that I'm a different person now. I want to walk away, basically. I fantasize about starting over entirely in a new city, that's how much I want to be rid of it all.
