I'm with Spork - Sweet P, please keep posting (!!!) and Herby, I hope your sadness alleviates soon.
My word today is alone. I have no problem with this as I have not been alone in several days. As much as I love my sublet, someone is always here, but today it is just me on 2 acres of land basking in the last rays of sunshine before winter closes in. I was so overwhelmed when there were 4 people living here. I'm relaxed. I know it won't last but wow, what a relief!
*edit* Congrats to serotonin on 9 months clean. Not a small accomplishment, much courage as you proceed along your recovery.
