Checking in, day 33. Yesterday I still felt depressed I was sick, had fever, so I thought, this is the perfect time to tell my best friend, that I have a crush on her. Yes, I’m THAT stupid.
We were chatting and she told me about other guys so I stopped her and told her that I feel more towards her than I should as her friend, that I’m really sorry and had no other intention than forgetting her (romantic-wise). But at the moment it’s hurtful for me to read her stories about others. She handled it very well, our friendship is the most important for both of us, so now we will keep distance for a while while still communicating occasionally, and later we will just catch up, where we left off.
I guess we got closer to each other than ever and for me personally it’s a great feeling to put this burden off my shoulders, that I don’t have this secret any more. I felt really bad as a friend and as a spouse to have this emotion. Now that I told it, it will be easier to let it go.
I had to close this chapter so that I can work on moving on, focusing my real life and present days.

Well done for being open and honest… That is a brave step esp as she is your best friend. I hope the time apart helps you to heal and move forward. X

Yes, I will miss her so much as a friend as well. But I’ve tried everything else, because I didn’t want to endanger our relationship, but that didn’t work out, so I had no other option left I guess.
But I’m really glad, that she’s not mad at me, we could talk about it as real friends and it didn’t distance us.

Panic mode setting in!
I have a social distance conference where I’m a guest speaker I used to do well at speaking because I was on some form of drug… This is going to be my first time speaking drug free my fucking nerves and my stomach are all over the place!

Can I go fucking hide under the quilt anybody got any tips?!!
I seriously think I’m gonna crap myself in front of people. This was booked last year.
I have this belief that I’m better on the drugs then off them, its always been my secure blanket for things I just can’t do!

Do you think if I cancel now I’ll get away with it… Anybody got a fever or a sickness bug (not corna) they can spread!!!

🤦 I’m done.

You can do it! You THINK you did it better on drugs, actually sober you can prepare, etc, and actually learn skills from the experience. Don’t give in before you even try!

You can do it girl! If you can do it on drugs you can do it clean. I never presented pissed or stoned - it’s too much like hard work. And you will feel great afterwards. Just remember to breath and pace yourself. Go knock their socks off! :socks:

Day 309. So after work, I went and did some more Christmas shopping after work for my beautiful girls. This is gonna be the first Christmas I didn’t scramble for gifts, I’m actually trying. I’m not being selfish, I didn’t look at a damn thing for myself it’s all about my girls. It feels good… I stayed up for like 30 hours lol. @Rockstar24777 hope your having a good day man… @anon27760155 you got this girl, I get that feeling of worry but you’ll do great… I see alot of newcomers on here so welcome to all of you hope everyone has a good day.

Danni, stop worrying. I know it’s easier said than done but treat this like sobriety. Break it down to being in each minute and do what you need to do to get you to the next moment.
You are not in that moment yet are you? Don’t waste your energy on it now!
It’s a technique I’ve used to get me through some times when anxiety would have crippled me.
We tend to waste too much energy worrying about things and when we actually get there we don’t have to energy to actually be our best.
If you have done this before, doesn’t matter if you were drugging or not, you have done it before.
Clear your mind and just concentrate on the here and now!
And you have got this girl. I know you have. You’re strong.
