So glad the controller is gone! I hope you are enjoying your work.
Glad, too, to hear that you are making your place your own. I know that was a blankness that was difficult to face previously.
First time real vacation for real?? Wow, that's wonderful. I'm going on my first time vacation by myself in a month. Wondering what that will be like. Sort of hoping for one of those "Woman alone in a cottage and emerging with her self fully restored" sort of experiences. Then I can write a book.
I got that you have been drinking. Please don't let it keep you away.

Obladi was saying in another thread "how do I get to never again" and people disagreed with me but I kept saying "when it gets bad enough or when you are ready.".
I was where you are so many times in life, drinking and keeping things together, you know Steve winwood style "drink and dance with one hand free" and there wasn't a guru in the world who could have got me to quit.
I quit when Steve winwood left the building.
If you're doing ok we can believe on the other side of our screen that you're not, but it's really your life and your decisions, which is the beauty of it all, really. I'm thrilled to be on this side of sobriety I will say....and I suppose we will see you if things take a turn for the worse.
Above all stay safe.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have been on this path more times than I count. I hear you. I appreciate your honesty but....... Ive got to do this Frank Sinatra style.
Ciao!

I'm rooting for you to get back on track, Mizzuno. Sometimes having fewer viable alternatives, like sobriety for instance, actually makes us more free once we can get our minds around the way things really are. It's a paradox.

Mizz, sorry to be *that* super weird person but it was mercury retrograde when you left, and mercury retrograde when you came back. I couldn't help but notice.. Please don't make us wait until the next mercury retrograde (in November) to hear from you again. Just stick with us and talk about whatever you feel like talking about..

You are someone who cheerleadered for me when I first was here, and you were here just this last time on my final round getting sober. I hope that I'm able to do the same for you. We're here for you Mizz
