I have started talking to this man recently, who I am so attracted to, but is probably not the best fit for me for so many different reasons, and it has been making me feel crazy. I've wanted to drink just to shut my mind down. I've tried to distract myself and do other things, but it's like nothing works. I called a girl I know from AA and talking to her helped a lot, because she is a single mom going through a lot of the same things as me. Dating this man has made me feel like my problem isn't really drinking, but it's more symptomatic of me just being crazy...ugh.
Just thought I'd check in and let any readers know that I'm still standing...a little bit wobbly, but still standing sober.
