Hi Haennie. Good to hear from you again. My last stay at the hospital yielded a rather lengthy list of longer term rehab options, some offering the chance for work to earn money while living there. I'm going to call about some of them this week. You are right...something is sorely missing in my recovery. There is something I need I am just not getting, and it's something more than meetings and working steps. I am looking into selling the house because there is no one else to take that responsibility. It's either that or walk away from it.

This is way off topic, but I've always admired your cat pictures. They are beautiful. I'm one of those rare cat guys.

Very glad to hear this. Go for it asap to minimize any further risk of relapse. I think it's a good idea to sell that house, too. I remember your saying repeatedly how everything there reminded you of stuff that made you sad and resentful, that is not a good thing for someone who as prone to relapse as yourself.
Please keep us posted how things go.
