Just popping in!
Hi All!
I have missed all of you soooo much. There are lots of new names and faces (I went back and read the post where you all described one another. FUNNY stuff)
I have moved - I am finally back HOME after over 20 yrs away. I moved 800 miles, and it all feels right. The crazy A is still stalking me, and I imagine he'll go ballistic when he finds out I am gone...
but I am happy and at peace for the first time in a very long time. I have a cute little house that I am fixing up, and a job that I can do from anywhere as long as I have a computer. I am living about 20 min away from my BF and his daughter, and I know that this is where I am supposed to be. I will be locating and checking out face to face meetings soon as its the only way to keep my sanity.
Just wanted you to know that even though I haven't posted in quite awhile, I'm still around, reading and laughing and crying and hollering right along with you.
HUGS all around

Thanks all!
I am "starting over" and it is wonderful and scary all at the same time. New IDs on the computer, new email addresses etc. Its quiet and peaceful here, can sit w/ the windows open and enjoy the breeze and the trees and the birds! I am sure that I will have my 'down' moments but for now it feels great. Kind of fun to know that I can meet new people who dont have to know all of my sordid past unless I choose to share it with them!
Ok - here's a thought for the group- if you could recreate YOURself where would you live? What kind of person would YOU want to be?
HUGS

Okay - now I know that you're REALLY back LOL.
I would live in Dallas and be just like you
Okay just kidding.
Actually this is a great question for me today, because my husband and I are thinking of semi-retiring (key word "semi") and may relocate this fall, going from the big city to a quiet lakeside town (sort of New-England style town) and I have had to give a lot of thought to this. But here is the good side, as I see it...
I would live in a quiet town that is close to a lot of activity for when I need it, in a nice Victorian house with a big garden and a white picket fence (yup, I'm serious). My cat and I would enjoy the mornings and I would do some work at home or part time away from the house and my husband would work for about 6 non-consecutive months of the year and be home the rest of the time.
I'd hope to be the same person I am today - it just took me so long to be who I am and I don't want to give me up. I think I would relax more, but the truth is I would probably be as busy as ever because I need action in my life. I would start a 12-step group if there is not one there already and get involved with a church and try to surround myself with "recovery" beauty.
I'll let you know how this transpires, and probably ask you for advice if I get nervoous about it LOL.
