Hello, i'm back again, after numerous false starts.. i really need to keep it up this time.
What do you think about friendships and relationships when trying to get/stay sober? How do you deal with them?
I find that i am ok when i am on my own, i can just concentrate on me.. but i can't be alone all my life can i? I have recently met a lovely guy. He knows about my problem with alcohol, and he would be very supportive if we got together properly.
When i am with him everything is ok, i feel strong and positive, but when i am not with him, i feel so lonely and end up drinking.. I know i should cool it with him, as i was doing better before i met him, but now that i have met him, i don't want to lose him so i'm likely to drink anyway. Basically i am so rubbish at dealing with any kind of emotion, good or bad, and i always end up drinking to get away from it..
Does any of this make sense? |
