Scott-51 y.o. here and basically having to reinvent myself. A LOT of fences and bridges to repair if you know what I mean. So many folks here get it. Really glad to hear that you're 12 days in. Just keep going 24 hours at a time. Each day is a new day and an opportunity to live and grow in new health and clarity of mind and purpose.
You've got lots of life ahead and things will improve if you stay the course. It's not guaranteed to be easy but it isn't complicated. The great people here will support you and can help navigate through both the tough and the good times.
Glad you decided to drop in. Hope to see ya around
T.
