It seems like everyone needs a little peice of me and there is not much left.
I know a lot of this is the actual move, but...

I found the more I stayed sober the more healthy boundaries became clear to me,
Shelly...I also felt less stressed irritated and put upon LOL

I think if we're doing recovery properly it's about more than just not drinking, it's also about growing, growing in self awareness and self worth, and growing in appreciation of ourselves (not in a conceited way LOL just getting to like ourselves I guess).

Once we do that, we get better at keeping a little part of ourselves for ourselves - it's not selfish, it's the whole putting the oxygen mask on ourselves thing so we can keep up with responsibilities and take care of those who depend on us

Day 7 - you're doing well Shelly
Good luck with that move
