So, a quick summary of what is going on:
1. I have had two full weeks with no Ambien! The abdominal pain has gone away. The vomiting has subsided. And, most importantly, I can sleep at night. It’s really wonderful to sleep without the help of a pill and without the fear of night terrors anymore.
2. It’s Facebook official. David and I are dating. He helped me through this process, and I know I wouldn’t have made it without him. I am a better person because of David. We still have separate apartments, but we pretty much spend every night together. I have never woken up next to a man who loves me, wants to hold me in his arms, and is willing to slog through the rough patches in order to have a strong relationship. I am very happy
3. I’m going to Berlin! Grandma Hermie wants to go see some of her kinfolk. I haven’t been in years! Last time I went it was all about the sex clubs (it is Berlin, after all). Hopefully, with Hermie, I will get to see more of the city during the day. It’s going to be a long trip. Two weeks. David can’t make it :(
4. Fuck Ambien! Being sober is much better!
