pack it up pack it in….

September 20, 2008

final confirmation….we are on our way out :) ha. out to  upstate ny.  our beautiful, wonderful, accomadating friend beth has invited us up there, to either rent the 4th bedroom in their house, or squat there until we have a place of our own. thank god. it is time for us to get out of here.  don’t get me wrong, i am grateful to sandy for letting us stay here….but you can only be comfortable on a twin mattress on the floor for so long.  and i long for something new. i want me and jesse to have a chance to start over.  i’ve been looking into aa meetings out there, and once we can get new york health insurance, i wanted us both to start IOP (intensive outpatient program)  once the drugs are gone, i have to sweep up all the wreckage of my past.  i am hopeful again, and looking forward to this alot.

the town our friend beth lives in is so incredibly beautiful….mountains and trees, little brooks and rolling meadows.  i love massachusetts, and nothing will ever compare to home, but upstate ny is nothing to sneeze at.   it will be a wonderful place to celebrate the harvest, jesse’s birthday, winter holiday’s and my own birthday.  just him and i, far away from all the bullshit….and a season away from our feuding families, away from the drugs…hopefully involved with new friends in the program, and beth and her friends….maybe even in our own place by new years.  a true new beginning.

i am so ready for this.

    It’s so bizarre how one can get so involved w/someone they’ve never even interacted with. Needless to say you do have something so special. You’re way with words is so captivating and un-filtered. But I too, as a loyal reader am affected by you. It’s just as much my right to respond as it is yours to write. After reading so much of the same shit, I feel compelled to respond. Simply b/c I know there is a solution that works and simply b/c I care.

    Don’t write yourself off — ever. This might be just the chance you need.
