Feeling a bit more sane today
After having a few really sad, sentimental days over XABF, today I'm feeling more clear (I know it's going to be quite the emotional whirlwind for a while).
I had a wonderful talk over lunch with a dear friend I really respect. She shared stories of her family's alcoholism, and it made me feel all the more convinced I've made the right decision and that I'm handling things just fine.
It still never ceases to amaze me how prevelant alcoholism is/how similar all the patterns are. And just how devestating the effects can be for so many. I never grew up with this or had it as part of my experience except the last two years. It has been quite a crash course education!
Anyways, thanks for all the support. I could be on the floor sobbing later, but this afternoon I am peaceful and OK!
