Yes, I can leave. I live pretty far out in the country. I don't want to inconvenience anyone. I had to take a cab to work once and it cost me 25$ one way. The meetings are farther than that job was, as now I no longer have a job. I want to get a bike, but my husband is fearful that I will get hit by a car. The roads are pretty narrow and He is really into safety. I really like this site, it has been very helpful. Thank you everyone!!! I moved here in 2006 and it is really hard to make friends at my age. I don't have kids nor do I go to church so that makes it even harder. I wish I could move back to Nashville. There are so many meetings and so many more people that I can relate to, I have a greenhouse business here with my husband and 4 dogs so we can't just up and move, but I wish I could, for sobriety's sake.
