It's been a long time

Yes, I've been in hiding.

I'm a changed woman...and that change is a good thing.

2 years of therapy, going dry till I could figure out how to drink without getting trashed. Saving money, buying a house, having an actual profession that I love. That all involved a lot of discipline but it paid off in the end. I was self sabotaging but I've grown, I've changed, I've healed.

I am now a woman, a happy woman, who loves herself and loves being alive. I was on a downward spiral but I crawled out of it and am better than ever.

Through this process I let go and/or hid from many "friends ". I had to deal with some hard truths and in order to do this, Io locked myself in my house for about a year. I had the occasional coffee or dinner, went to the gym, went to therapy, wrote a ton, and spent time with my garden, my dog, my cat, and for the first time, myself.

Welcome back to the land of living! I'm glad (relieved) to hear that therapy works. Winter's coming and I think Anders might get me a gift certificate to a counselor just help me through it... ;)
