THE FORUMS
Nice. I just read through your thread and it seems like you've come a very long way, stayed dedicated, and plowed through mental obstacles. Would you say you're "being who you are meant to be"? I've been putting a lot of focus on this lately, quit drinking, getting in sick shape and eating well, getting enough sleep, Tony Robbins, Meditation.
Sleep is a biggie for me. It as the reason I didn't come out Saturday. If sleep deprived, I'm useless to myself and everyone else and prone to negative thought patterns and half-assing actions.
Keep Going. Hope to meet up around Boston

I'd say yes, it's a good plan to live in a different area for the experience. One warning - this often applies to alcoholics or addicts - Don't seek a "geographical cure," with the assumption that it will fix your problems, or that the old life and habits will go away. Are you running from yourself? If you're deliberately creating a great experience, that's another thing.
It's been helpful for me. I went to school in TX - being from Boston this was a bold move, and did a study abroad program in Rome for a semester. I didn't know anyone prior to these experiences, and was intentionally jumping into an uncomfortable situation that I thought would pay off. They were great for building a sense of the world being an accessible place (it’s smaller than you think) and for gaining a sense of well-roundedness. I wouldn’t have nearly the perspective without these experiences.
1. Ability to build new identity without your common surroundings, friends, influences
2. Feeling of self-reliance and having seen the world from more angles
3. Greater feeling of comfort in new places in general

GreyMatter responded about keeping momentum. Do what I want to do. I can start the night out right and stay out of my head but at some point I start to fizzle out. I am working on getting to a baseline of awesomness.
