Stay with it!
I have been to two meetings and maybe I am being selfish but it doesn't seem like enough attention. I said part of my story at the last meeting and just feel a little odd. I appreciate the support but I feel like I have nothing to look forward to.
I would always look forward to drinking to get me through, jus thaving a bad day. I feel guilty becasue I haven't been as affectionate or intimate with my girlfriend and don't really have much of a desire as I am having some issues in that area.
She even mentioned to me a few days ago when I came over and was not in a good mood something to the effect of "You need me more as a friend now and not as a lover"
Just made me feel bad...
