Yes!

Yep.. Cowboy 🙂‍↕ I was scared because of how my previous relationship was (my ex was extremely abusive)
Now Cowboy and I are happily married and having our little baby this November and he’s the best father to my children and best husband I could ever imagine.. he quite literally spoils me rotten and I can truly be myself with him. I’ve never been afraid of him because I know he would never hurt me

Yes. Going to rehab to try to get sober.

When I joined the army

Yes going to sea for freedom. Away from HOA culture.

Buying a condo. Have more living space and more money.

Moving out of my now late Dad's life and house.
Outcome: better than before in so many ways.

Many times. Too many times. It’s always been worth it.

My current job, I was very hesitant because of how it ended last time.

Becoming a father and knowing I had to change my life around to make a life for the three of us. No more being carefree and drinking myself silly.

Oh gosh, several!

- joining the Navy
- stepping back from active duty
- returning to academia
- leaving the Navy

still moving forward. :)

Yes. Moved my family 800 miles away from anyone we knew. It worked out great for us.

I took voluntary redundancy from HMRC after more than twenty two years, I'd been working there since leaving school.
I got another job soon after and the following year I got a job with the NHS.
It was scary at the time, but completely the right decision.

Moving back to the mainland was big enough a shock, but I don’t regret it..I made a life here.

I found a wonderful man that I knew I was about to lose because of my steadfast decision to save my virginity for "the one". Then I realized...hey stupid, he is "the one". We just had our 20th anniversary, it still feels edgy and exciting to be in his arms. I chose wisely.

I purchased a house in VAN,,,,,,,,,,,,,, even after the Real Estate Agent told me about this BEERY Monster in town

Yes, I quit drinking almost 13 years ago. Now I'm totally alone except for my kids and parents. Not the outcome I was looking for.

idk i think i tried before but failed

Just over 2 years ago…separated from of wife of 22 years- divorce eminent, no job, had tried to commit suicide about a year earlier, kids wanted nothing to do w me. I knew I needed to get away from the madness of the DMV area. To somewhere slower paced. Ended up in The Northwoods area of Wisconsin. Lots of good for coming here and lots of bad…so, it’s a work in progress. Right now, it’s all good!

Yes
