I love women and just being friends with a woman and getting to know them is what keeps me sane. I gave up alcohol but I'm still addicted to s**
And I'm sure they flock to you.

So you switched addictions. You can work on that.

Hang in there buddy. The craving for attention, validation, love, and se% is very powerful. If you’re serious about getting healthy, you will need to address all of this. I’m practicing the 12 steps and following a daily program (AA) to learn to be free from all of my addictions. It’s working for me. This Saturday will be 9 months of recovery from alcohol, drugs, and compulsive behaviors that led to a bottom of all bottoms. You can do it too…but it takes work everyday

Welcome Sheldon, thank you for sharing this. It’s definitely easy to switch one addiction for another. I too had done something similar in early recovery. It wasn’t until I did my 4th and 5th steps of Alcoholics Anonymous I could see just how unhealthy my behavior was. I felt shame, guilt and remorse for my past experiences which then caused me to realize just how much I needed to change and to get real honest with myself. It’s been since July that I’ve gone celibate. I’m still dating as in looking but with intentions of meeting that special woman. I’m recently divorced and that as well was a huge blow to me ego and pride.
Are you going to any group therapy? AA, or SA? Life ring or recovery dharma?
