I hope you can find some nice friends in Alanon meetings maybe. I visited NYC for 4 days last Xmas (senior citizen trip) from Virginia and loved it. The decorations were beautiful, enjoyed the shows, tour of Ground Zero, shopping. But 4 days was enough and I am glad I live in central Va. where we have lots of green. Yep- the GRATITUDE list works great. Sometimes my little terrible two ego has to vent for a minute- and living with an active alcoholic is not fun. I don't live with one anymore and the stress level is much better. I am so grateful for my recovery, my pets, my HP, SR, healthy Alanon friends, recovery tools, my job which gets on my nerves but pays the health insurance....I hope you find someplace green to unwind .
