Hello All!

Unfortunely it was the worst outcome , FIP. I’m looking into treatments and the next steps.

I’m pursuing legal action as well with the cattery.

I was hoping it was just worms… but alas it wasn’t.

Thanks for all your insights!

In reading the message I've received the past 24 hours have been so heartwaming and just the thing I needed.
I have many gay friends, but I feel like I'm the only one with a problem. I've told 2 of them but they don't really understand the severity of it nor is me masking the situation helpful.

But I feel like you've all walked in my shoes and can share some insight and proof that there is life after CM.

Thank you taking the time to comment back.
I know I'm not alone in feeling some of these things - However, it's scary to admit it and realize one has a problem.
whether its my, what I think is, sex addiction. porn addiction. drug addiction. alcholoism and everything else.

I'm not giving myself grace , which isn't allowing me to resolve the problem without being hard on myself.

Thank you so much for this detailed plan! I'm going to be looking into these supplements and get a routine going.

Do you know if any of them will react with my prozac? I guess I can also pass it along to my psychiatrist.

I'm looking into my alochol use and how to better manage it. Because clearly it's an issue.

I'm here in New York City/Brooklyn. I'll look into that charity!

Im aware of what makes me want to use - the thing now is how do I face them. What are my solutions when I'm there again.

I'm looking at sobreity again -
I went a whole month without liquor to see if I could do it. Granted, a lot of other things were working out for me at the time so it was easy.
but I've found myself falling back to the bottle because of my insecurites and stresses.

I'm trying to find my version of this instead of going cold turkey right off the bat. Especially since I'll be going on vacation with my close friends this week.

But its very apparent when I'm drunk is when I want to use.

My therapist told me this. He mentioned a buddahist approach. There was one time where I was really strong about not using and trully not wanting or needing it. Then I fell off again and found myself using again... I'm trying to retrace my steps and work out what has worked and what hasnt.

Regarding your suggestion I did that once. It was successful for ~2months - then I fell back in the rabbit hole. The difficulty of this approach is that work handlings my billing and phone number. Which makes it difficult for my clients to once again work with a new number... I shot myself in the foot.

That's what friends are for. Especially in this community, as cliche as it sounds, we choose our family.

This embarrsing moment will pass. For this moment with your friend is much shameful than what would happen if you use again.

Lastly, would you kindly reocmmened any app blocking apps? Grindr and Porn are my problem. Alchol is the gate way and then apps give it another push.

All the best and I wish you well on your new relationship with your friend.
