So well put, Buckley, and congratulations on your upcoming year milestone.
I can relate to what it must have felt like at the airport, I traveled many years in my addiction and spent countless hours in a numbed state. When I started to get sober I found that, like you, I was able to pass through old haunts without having to pick up again in that setting. I did relapse later, and I have chosen in my new work to avoid the isolation that travel brought to me, but I do miss the joys of doing a really great job for a client like you just accomplished. Keep it up.
Always a pleasure to read what you have to say.
