I’m not good with compliance.
I keep doing things back-ass-ward with my recovery, especially with the ‘no major decisions’ rule.
I’ll justify the move with bullet points, because they feel more authoritative.
- Living in the USA is the best way to make amends to my children. If I’m doing the program, this is what the 9th step means right now.
- I don’t have good options for AA meetings in the Haitian ghetto.
- My bipolar meds and counseling are all back in USA.
- I don’t own much, so moving isn’t a big hassle.
So today, I’m updating my Twitter profile to claim Louisville, KY as my home (again).
The big drama comes in leaving my girlfriend behind. ???? She doesn’t have a Visa and that’s a slow process. It will be good for me to get some space while I get my recovery worked out.
She understands the move, even if she doesn’t believe I’ll last more than a few weeks.
Bon voyage ???????? ✈️ ????????

That sounds like a good plan, Tony.
I am sorry you have to leave your girlfriend, but maybe you can go visit her once in awhile?
Happy 84 days!

I’m 80 days behind you, Tony. ???? That makes 4 for me today! So glad you are moving back. For many reasons.
Sober Tony says

Tony: it is absolutely none of my business and I only wish you the best, but for what it is worth I think this is a good (adult) decision. All the best to you.
Sober Tony says
Thanks friend. It’s a painful process, even if nothing is forever.
Going back means putting my recovery first – even if where I was at helped me get this far. I feel like reconciliation with the kids is a big step for me.

You know what I think! And I’m proud of you. ❤️
