That is quite a move soberclover. I’m a resident of the southeast and I’m happy to say that the heat will soon be easing into a comfortable autumn. And although it won’t be the same as Vermont, the trees do put on quite a show of foliage in parts of Georgia.
It is interesting though, I’ve read that big changes (even happy ones) often prompt a time of increased vulnerability in alcoholics . Also, I often feel a little AV temptation if I’m in a geographic location far removed from my norm. As if my addictive tendency wouldn’t apply there maybe.
Anyway, welcome to the Deep South! I hope you’ll settle in reasonably soon and that this will be ultimately be a positive move for y’all.
