Well, I'm off to a residential facility for people addicted to AoD for a few months. I've had to take leave from work (and there's no guarantee I'll have a job when I get back), but this is something I have to try. It's all pretty daunting and I won't get to see my t while I'm there I haven't asked her yet, but I have a strong feeling that she will let me call her though. I'll be at the facility for Christmas and New Year - which in one sense saddens me, but at least I can respectfully have nothing to do with my family during a time that is triggering.

I'm going to miss my t, my freedom, the substance I self-medicate with, my solitude ... oh, the list just goes on.

Any advice or encouragement for the journey? Thanks muchly!
