Hey Angelus -
Good on you and your progress in recovery!!
Denny hit the nail on the head: people will see you've changed by your actions.
You sound like you want to try the "Geographical Cure." One of my A brothers keeps trying it, over and over. But truly, wherever you go there YOU are! He's never given sobriety/recovery a shot yet in any location!
But I do believe that change can be a good thing- and if you see yourself seriously outgrowing a place or a group of friends then I think it can be very exciting and empowering to move out/move on!
The biggest/best moves go on in your mind.
Peace,
B.
