This will be another short one; I just got in from a dinner with some girlfriends I hadn't seen in a few months. Lots of laughs, lots of giggles; they're not a hard-drinking bunch, so no real pitfalls there. After we said our goodbyes, I pulled the one I'm closest with aside, and asked her to have a coffee with me. Long story short, I spilled my guts to her. I've known this friend for close to a dozen years, and even if we don't see each other more than a few times a year, we're completely simpatico. It's just good to know that people have my back, and I have their support and love. As much as I like to think of myself as fiercely independent and self-sufficient, having that circle of support is so comforting.
It was a relevatory dinner in a few other ways; almost all of us were in the midst of life-altering experiences: one had finally gotten out of a dead-end, 8-year-long relationship with a schmuck; another just found out she's having a baby. I took it as a sign that (good) changes are in the air.
More tomorrow.

I'm never been much of a drinker myself so you can meet me even while going through detox. Let's make it soon!
