It is not perfect but it's perfect right now. It has two bedrooms so my friends and family can stay with me, I can afford it by myself, and it allows my pets. I will need to find a garage or storage somewhere but no big deal ,I'm free! I can even move in next week. Thanks for all the hope and prayers , they worked.

Awesome, congrats!! Once you're settled in you can keep an eye out for a place with a garage, but this sounds perfect for right now!

WooHOO!!

firebolt

Congrats. firebolt. I think that this just shows what a positive (can do) attitude, tenacity, and an ability to be flexible can do!!

Fantastic, Firebolt. You are on your way to a life of peace, discovery, joy, and all the other things made impossible by living with an active alcoholic. Hope the move goes smoothly!

Thanks so much guys! I'm really excited to be ME again. The last few weeks, I can feel her coming back. Things are calm, detached and semi somber here. It's OK. I have moments of sadness / questioning. ..but they are fleeting and I squash them semi easily. The right thing is often the hardest thing, but I've been grieving the relationship for years, and am surprisingly ok!!

" I'm really excited to be ME again. The last few weeks, I can feel her coming back. "

I totally understand. I felt as if I had lost my soul. I remember one day hearing myself laugh and it sounded so strange. I think in the insanity I had forgotten how.

It totally makes my day to hear of someone else getting away from all of that. Good for you!

Congratulations Firebolt. Once you want to change your life enough, good things start happening. I'm glad you're getting your mojo back.

Sounds like I could be able to start moving Wednesday after the carpets are dry! Bulk of it will be next Sunday and the following week. I have a weekend motorcycle trip with a bunch of gals and I'm not going to miss it. I need it! I can finish up early the following week if I have to. ABF seems to understand I just have to go and seems ok. Drunk alot but ok lol. That makes it all easier for me too. Told my parents today. Lots of support there...from friends and you guys too. Lucky girl!!
