This thread is.such a nice idea.

Coming here and finding people who are from the same world turned out to be the most positive step I've taken toward recovery in a long time. I can totally be myself--talk about the ups and downs and reveal
the fears no outsider would ever understand. Thank you for this. Thank you for giving me a place where I know I will not be judged.

Other things I am trying to accomplish...
Made a budget so I can move in a year.
I cruise the organizational sites for tips about getting my house and
my studio together.
(Have some good resources, DESIREE, if you are interested.)
Trying to figure out what diet plan I can afford.

Things that bring immediate comfort...
My cat. Snuggling, talking to, just being with.
NOT SMOKING!!!
Movies, books, making art.
Getting enough sleep.
Almost anything chocolate.

Flower.
