All you guys have made points that are well taken.
My company might have an opening down there in March, and I am already stressing about whether or not to pursue it.
I freely admit that I feel like a real mess right now. Not sure what to plan. Very hard to go just one day at a time.....
My hometown has a lot of mixed memories for me. Also made the top ten list of the most drunken cities in the US in Forbes magazine.
Before my mate and I separated and I was still drinking, I used to fantasize about loading up the car and moving to another state.
Thanks again for all your support. I felt pretty good for most of these 8 months of sobriety. You are right that if I can get a different place to live here, it would afford me some objectivity about the whole thing....
