Thank you to all for the warm welcome. Lately I have come to remember that I cannot maintain my sobriety without interaction with others who have been through what I know and are working to live in a better way. Living alone, I realize that I'm susceptible to isolation, and that's not good for me. Having just started life in a new, small town a couple years ago and a new job just four months in, I have few connections locally who share my experiences. Attending to my mental and physical health needs to be a constant refrain of positive activities that includes being here.
