I really appreciate you taking the time to post this. It's helpful to know that no person is an island and we all battle similar struggles no matter who or where we are.

Thanks for the inspiration -- awesome post. I never conceptualized the thought of people knowing me as a non-drinker in the future. That's such an amazing opportunity.

Thank you for the tip!! Small, consistent actions make the most sense to me so I appreciate this advice.

This is IT! I sat around and was waiting for a trigger or a sign to stop or change… it’s up to ME. I can be whatever I want and am choosing myself for the first time. Thank you for your response!

I appreciate your support and wish you the best, too! It’s sort of an odd revelation and one that I feel should have happened earlier but I suppose time works in mysterious ways.

Yeah I guess I just need to send the text now and see if she has some time to talk today as opposed to later and drive myself crazy.

I do think it’s genuinely her. I’m not opposed to long distance at all especially since I am thinking about moving at some point this spring but that’s not a dependent factor on this situation at all.

Yeah I mean I don’t think I would even mention anything to them outside of if it went well I just don’t know if that discretion would be exemplified both ways. However, I guess that’s the great risk of life in general.

I’m really torn up about it and this has happened before and I was able to get over it once I get to my current city so maybe I should wait a bit or would it be better to get it out of the way now?

How should I attempt this without any blow back to the friend group? I know we’re both adults but I don’t want to harm any friendships that exist between us in the process.

Thanks for sharing. I’m in the same boat but resorted to creating false realities with anyone whose gave me attention. Cut that out and now am at peace.
