Okay, advice: Get involved... On and off the interwebs! I did the ren faire for a number of years and some of my best friends, yes, I have a few, were from there. My wife and I have recently moved to a area where we know no body within two hours of us and most of the locals are dealing with a pharmaceutical epidemic which makes being friends hard without either watching the struggle or getting involved myself which... Shouldn't be an option! I've been without any herb for about 3 months and I can see myself slipping into old habits, isolation, mostly in thoughts. Not going to work, thank god for unemployment, and it sucks because there isn't anything around to really get into and going from bassnectar show to show isn't an option! Haha, we have a baby, two weeks old so that makes things even harder. For now I'm a panicky mess but maybe next week I'll go and grab a fishing license but the evil day star is to much on the little one and don't want to leave my wife, a first time mom, hanging... Ramble ramble ramble!!! Get involved in something you love and you'll be able to be you!
