exodus dilemna
 
I am an opiate addict from the northeast USA. Two years ago I moved to a village in Northern Alaska. The decision to relocate was borne out of a desire to completely seperate myself from the drug scene. I have found peace of soul and mental clarity in my new surroundings, however, I've come to understand a drawback to living in such a remote locale is the absence of a fellowship of recovering addicts.

I like people who dare to be different and who aren't afraid to express themselves. Addicts can easily fit that bill, for better or worse. I have certain ideas about recovery that I think need to be challenged so that I can finally meet myself.

And I only like to tell the good news.

Hello and good day to all.

As long as you have internet you have a great community right here in SR! So welcome, ayo! It's great to have you with us.

I greatly envy you the move to AK! I have long dreamt of moving there myself. Perhaps I couldn't live there for my whole life but it would be great for a couple years or so. Camping and hiking is something I live for and I love the outdoors. Alaska is so beautiful! So much great fishing, hunting and hiking up there. The solitude would be nice, too.

I think part of why I like living in this part of the country is because it seems like so many people who want to "start a new life" naturally end up migrating here, and it makes for an interesting mix

Ayo, there are many non-addicts who aren't afraid to express themselves. I also like mavericks, but I focus on the sober mavericks. Addicted mavericks tend to shine bright for a short period of time and then burn-out completely. Or they decide to get sober.
