so, I'm in a wierd mood... I am getting ready to move from ohio to nc...and I am realizing that I have to start over. I am gonna be in a new state that has no baggage. Now, that's a good thing but I am realizing that I am not going to have the familliarness of where I am now...and I'm scared cause even though I know I've made progress I don't know how I did it and I'm anticipating being very lonely and bored and not knowing how to start over. I knew how to screw things up lol but this is a new slate, a new start, I can build it any way I want to. I guess that feels overwhelming. I think I need to just try to let it play out. Not try to overthink it God help me....
wow ss I am so right there too!! I am moving to Ohio from Hawaii via Minnesota and Wisconsin! Yeah, I am feeling that way too- scared and excited all at the same time. I am really grateful to have a new start and a new job and to get away from my soon to be x AH who was abusive. I get to be my own girl and go my own way and make my own way. But geez I am pretty scared about all that, too! One day at a time, huh? Step one: admitting powerlessness? Right on- Hugs, J.
Ya know, ladies, there are alanon meetings Everywhere. That is a great way to start building friendships and becomming part of a community.....
One of my best friend's moved here last year from California and walked into alanon and that's where we met. I love her dearly and she has been a great friend.
So, check out your local f2f meetings.....that's instant friends and family!!!!
Congrats on the move hon. Just remember, "wherever you go, there you are."
Change can be scary and exciting all at the same time. Keep it simple and do first things first. If you take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself.
yours in recovery, Maria
