Starting Over
Over the last few years I have been on and off this website, and on and off alcohol/pills. My best friend and his wife (they have a 3 year old awesome daughter) have offered me a place to stay and change my life. It would be a huge change and risk....but a chance to start over. Basically, I would be walking away from my home (I am upside down on it and broke anyways) and job (don't really like it anyways).
They live near the coast and I am in the valley in California..so about a 2 1/2 hr drive away. The plan would be to stay with them for 3-6 months and then rent a place of my own. I am in sales so I don't see much problem finding some kind of sales job.
Bottom line is I have terrible memories of my life where I live, and almost nothing but bad memories...and would probably die young if I stay around here. I live alone, have a terribly addictive personality, and will probably continue to relapse if I don't make a drastic change.
Has anyone ever just packed up and left their life to start over?
