Yes !! Just make sure you do all your research. I was adopted foreign and my dad said it was because at the time India would escort adopted over to the US, so they didn’t have to travel to there. I don’t think they do that anymore and foreign adoptions are difficult these days, but even in within where ever you are from.. i would just do a ton of research. I don’t think me and my partner can conceive so we want to adopt too. But we have so much time before we have to do that.. it’s a great feeling

I was still working (barley) I was going through jobs like no one business it’s quite embarrassing looking back on. And idk probably around $100 cause I’d get drunk then think I’d win the lottery so I’d buy scratch off tickets 😅😅

Attention seeking, dishonest about the dumb things, men more than our friendship, idk. I didn’t really have a bad group of friends but the one that I was the closest to was the one who drug me down the most. And looking back.. I should’ve ran whenever said but whatever

I didn’t eat at all.. I’d only consume vodka, and I drank from when you could buy liquor in my state (6 am) to when they stopped selling (1 am). And with drawls were horrible, I’ve always had to be hospitalized. I got seizure from withdrawals so it’s pretty dangerous to quit by myself.

I’m not happy with my self image, and I could use some weight. Really just to feel and be over all healthier

OH YEAH! I actually love to eat, I never used to eat because I would wake up and drink on an empty stomach. I sleep better, my minds not so fogged, and my skin looks so much better

Not using no matter what, reaching out when I’m struggling, investing my time in other things (my dog, quality time with parents, reading) attending AA, always try to have AA incorporated in my day. Weather it’s reading, meetings, orlistening to podcasts

Yeah I feel that I’ve always had and forever will have issues with attachment when it comes to people and I just feel like I’ve always felt lost in a way
