Ugh. So. I've been looking into re-establishing professional and personal networks here, and I'm going to reach out to everyone else for a moment.
So that's that. Still looking for a decent church, and have some shopping to get done, but this city isn't half so unconquerable as TV says it is.
- A. It is apparently a tremendous pain in the culo to get a New York State Driver's License. Do you see all those hoops they want? A five hour class? Book an appointment three to six months in advance? I have a New Jersey License, but something tells me residing in Gotham City might spring a few flags here. Is that even valid? I mean, I know how to drive, but would that license be valid here?
- B. Started in on the NYPD application procedure. At least that's a bit more streamlined. So Morgan. Look for Company soon.
- C. Insofar as how everyone's adjusting. I know back in Gotham, I had a group I went to about once a week. I've checked Intergroup here, and over the past two weeks been to probably seven or so different meetings in the area. Open, Closed, Big Book, Steps, Womens' only, Spanish language,
LGBT,you name it and I'm not finding a decent fit. Maybe I'm not being patient enough. But I'd say right now the biggest issue I'm dealing with is being ripped out of my dimension by some blazing blue box into a world that's like mine but different. And I don't think that's something a lot of people at these groups are getting. So I'm going to reach out and maybe say a bit more than I should about my personal life. But if anyone else here is in recovery and would be interested in forming a group that meets once a week or so, that'd be great.- D. Yoga is daaaaamn expensive in this city. But I found a gym a bit more towards midtown that's 12$ a class if anyone's been looking for one.
So that's that. Still looking for a decent church, and have some shopping to get done, but this city isn't half so unconquerable as TV says it is.
