deciding what school to send them to. They
had been going to Catholic school and to
send them to a Catholic HS would have
been extremely expensive for us, so the
move for affordable school was what helped
us with that decision to move.

However, I didn't get the memo about the
company coming to our home to pack us
up and move us, so I began packing in boxes
id find in dumsters and stores. Nice boxes
tho.

Anyway, I had filled an entire storage unit
with so many different size boxes of our home
that it did fill a huge Mayflower truck completely.
The day before we moved the company movers
came to the house to pack what we had leftover.

They pulled out these tall same size boxes
and filled what we had in no time where
it took me months to pack in many small
boxes. Crazy when ever I did things my
way, it never worked.

That of course was done during my
drinking career and yes I'm sure I
drank enough to numb all my anxiety
and stress which didn't help in anyway
because I was miserable about the
move away from my hometown in
which I never wanted to leave in
the first place.

Anyway.....if you can get help with packing
and moving that is awesome and if not, make
sure you get these same size boxes to avoid
packing burnout like I did.

Remember, we never have to go thru
anything alone by ourselves or have to
figure out anything by ourselves alone
again.

Asking for what we need, suggestions,
can guide us along in our journey sober
and a lot less stress and anxiety.
no worries about me packing much myself.
i've got a fractured foot. almost everything is going to have to be done by movers and family.
