Phew, trying to collect my thoughts here. I just got back from an AA meeting tonight. My house is a disaster and Mr. Softie, the cat, is staying with my dad atm, he's safe and healthy. I decided to not go to the sober house. Rent was insane for my area and the only house with a bed was run like a cult, seriously, it was super weird and like nothing I had ever seen from AA before.
Real quick, the place I stayed 3 months at was a dump and really shitty. The clinical director was a terf and a master at gaslighting people. He'd literally call you a piece of shit and a moron if you disagreed with him. It was all around bad. I would have left if it wasn't for the counseling I was getting from my therapist. She was fantastic, very empathetic and kind. Her and I did very intensive grief and trauma counseling over mom and my childhood. I feel like I came out ahead.
The plan for the immediate future is to go back to work and save up. I have a big choice I need to make. Either I move out and rent a place, or I sink money into my home and inherit from my dad. Big choices for sure.
If anyone sees @AncomCosmonaut please let him know that I'm sorry for being such a shit head and I'd like to talk.
I'll be around to answer questions, it's good to be back my fellow liberals!
Thanks, that's what I was thinking. Taking what I find that sticks and leaving the rest of it. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a sponsor and keep making meetings. Thankfully the meeting I like is right up the road, and we visited it in rehab so I built up a friendship with the people over these last 3 months.

Yeah so far I haven't talked politics with these people and I really don't want to. I'm thinking about just making friends even if they're mild liberals which isn't all that bad. I'll draw the line at frothing fash though. But I suppose I got a leg up right now as I'm back home, know the area, have a car, and some financial support for the time being.

Thanks! I'm looking at all of this as a victory for me.
