    Hey Colby,

    I too, feed all the strays around here. I miss my cats so much. They were like my family. I have had them all my life. They provided me with so much joy and comfort. They were so playful and happy cats. Unfortunately, I got very sick, and had to file for SSDI disability. I am somewhere where we are not allowed cats. Not one day goes by, I don’t think about them. I don’t have family and few friends as I live in a small town with no transportation, except medical transportation. So, it’s very isolating and lonely without them. Volunteering gives me Hope, though and feeding about 15 of them.

    Then for now I’ll work on making my house more serene, since that’s what I’ve got the most work into already:)

    Hi Colby,

    You had mentioned liking animals, and your car. Have you thought about volunteering with animals at a Zoo or Animal shelter? Sometimes I volunteer for an organization that rescues animals from abusive and negectful environments, and then there are times I just volunteer to play and hold the cats at our local SPCA, no kill animal shelter.

    I tried volunteering at our local humane society for awhile, but it is not a no-kill shelter, so the experience ended up being more depressing than gratifying.  As far as I know, that’s about all the options there are for volunteer services here.

    The hardest part of recovery is the traumatic experience. Hope you’ve been able to overcome someday.

    Recovery has been slow for me, but I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Like I mentioned earlier, I am starting to make lifestyle changes, possibly a new awakening.  I have now ditched sodas for things like chamomile and lavender, and green teas.  On top of that, I haven’t had caffeine in 10 months.
