Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I second V's sentiments about being thankful for Dee--you are untiring in your support and understanding and somehow manage to deliver no-nonsense advice with humility and humor. Thank you!
Else--yes. I have been dating someone for about six months. Taking it slow. He is a gentle soul who also doesn't drink and it's wonderfully normal and comfortable. I'm pretty sure it's the healthiest relationship I have ever been in, and I'm learning quite a bit about how I communicate (and things I definitely need to improve on). We made the lemon blueberry bread yesterday and it's more like cake, haha.
Wishing you all a peaceful and sober Thanksgiving.
