192It's the trying to deal with extremes. Do I cut off entirely not talking - in my mind make it "over". What is the healthy way to be It's either all or nothing - how do I cope

252It's been a strange weekend what I feel in my gut is that it's over least for now probably a long time. What I know now is that he is hurting, doesn't respect my mind
262Is it possible to just be a friend Time will tell. I am feeling stronger by the day really trying to keep the focus on me have faith. Real faith. That things will work out
273I think he is rather immature - he gets uncomfortable being around me and I hate that. His entire disposition has changed - and he did say that it won't be like that forever. But
2815A few things that were said in meeting that resonated with me - 1. Accept your powerless - over situations. The more I try to hold on, the more I will lose. 2. Align values
296I also think that we won't end up being together I have no more illusions. Things that really make me wonderquiver and I saw it the first night I was with him. When he kicked

335Dear Kevin, When I first met you, I felt an instant yet unattainable attraction. I was also surprised happy that there was someone my age - from my area - felt a familiarity.
342The first night we were going to meet, I didn't call you - and as I was walking home let you know that I didn't think it was a good idea. You were disappointed saying I left you
353The car - I smoked a cigarette while you sat in the car talking to him - and I remember thinking this is a disaster. You came out told me you had to go - could drive me home but
367Eric Dengler You text me how sorry you were for how it went down and asked if you could make it up to me. And so it continued. Your text messages sentiments became stronger
374you knew you shouldn't contact me but couldn't help yourself - that you wanted me to know you were sleeping on the couch I hadn't left your mind. The texts sexting continued
383But I came back to Ocean Drive conflicted needed to process - both Josey Randal were out that week I let it out after being told to "talk about it" - that it would release
391I may not have been experiencing a good sex life home but I did have a partner who thought about me my needs before his. I wrote you a text that you should concentrate on
403I have to admit that although it's what I had said, it wasn't what I wanted. I text you on the 8th 9th to ask about the 12th weekend you responded that you were conflicted
413a text on Tuesday the 22nd - "You haven't left my mind - I relapsed" I am ok going to Caron - no needles - my wife is divorcing me. Wish you were here. I'd like to get sober
422I want to make it very clear that I 100 agree that you can only focus on self right now. Your'e life is stake - But for my health sanity - what am I supposed to do with these
433So where do we go from here I have been working on letting go but I don't want to resent you. I am here for sexual trauma loss - both you have healed hurt. I have a part in

6052119 February Hooray. That much closer to spring... although I need to stay present. And be grateful for today. I had some up's down's today. Started the day with boxing
614Tomorrow I already have my day planned - Getting up in the am - 9am going to the gym - then home to shower - 9am gym 10am Showerhome 11:30am - Lunch men's house 2:45pm -
623When I leave - I love so hard. And I get focused on them - their love. Their need for me to be loved. Their validation. Their something... Here I am talking about another man when
633was almost a year that was horribly painful due to the diagnosis. I haven't been sober in so fucking long need to get sober stay this way... long enough to find inner peace
643Reframing my life. Early morning - the sun has not yet shown it's shine. To thine own self be true. I have to continue to walk in faith - that everything should be exactly how
653I have struggled for control - for absolutes. For some assurances that I will never get as long as I keep struggling. I do know that I would like to quit smoking for my health.
662He actually texted me the first time last night to tell me he is glad I had a good day on Beau's Birthday. I have a therapy session with him tomorrow which makes me nervous but

713I honestly think he is out of my system the man who he was with me is no longer. Neil had a meltdown said I was putting others risk, was full of shit about my own
723gives attention that I know I need. It's like each relationship get me closer to where I want to be. Showing me more more of what I want. I won't see him tonight. And that's ok
732I know that Eric does but also know that Eric isn't ready for a relationship has been known to drift outside. I am not sure what to do with how I am feeling other than focus on
744Owning my power realizing that unlimited happiness resides within. He didn't call last night it worried me - became a little pre-occupied and I didn't like it. So today I
753emotions - it's not a healthy space to be. The truth is - everything I thought I knew - ended up not being entirely accurate. Kevin was soulmate we were going to end up together
7616What is my part in this My part is that I spoke to too many people about my situation with Kevin. I asked for too many opinions and tried to get validation that I am good enough,
772It's not what I want anymore - so maybe that's the gift in this all and the lesson that I should only tell people I trust and who have my back - about anything. It's about being a
782He came over this morning - he fell asleep with his phone on vibrate. I over-reacted now see how I can get so ahead of myself. In my mind, he was on a boat with other women and
792The morning. Early mornings. Kevin didn't come to dinner last night he has been avoiding me like the plague mean, cold, distant. I guess that's his go-to and better I find
805I don't want to move down here for anyone, any relationship, and need to make sure I'm making the right move - literally. I trust no one. It just really goes to show - you don't
812What are the qualities that I know I need in a partner 1. Affection 2. Kindness 3. Sweetness 4. Sweet Nothings 5. HumorLaughing 6. Attraction 7. Intimacy 8. Passion 9. Loyalty
827He is still in love with his girlfriend - what the fuck - honestly. I'm an incredible catch don't know if he's just trying to fill a hole - Have a difficult time being alone
8314me like an asshole - and still I remain kind bc that's what I want to be but I do know that I now have boundaries - no longer possess these intense feelings. They have faded
842The day ended up on a positive note. Had a great clinical day. The lesson that I learned is I am either completely "put together" and could run the group OR I am the 6 year old
854My 5 year old self: I acknowledge her but the grown-up version of me is now going to address her while caring for her. I was given the hunger games to read as an assignment. Kevin
863I probably won't see Eric tomorrow I'm ok with that. It's getting easier to find my time space - with only myself. I wish I had 2 more weeks here to really hone what I am
878The transition will be difficult for me this I know for sure But I have much to do in the limited time herethere it's time to make moves Schedule for tomorrow 6:30
882Learning to fly with half developed wings... Coming down is the hardest thing. It's gotten weird again - up down. It's really disconcerting and horribly discouraging. I am
897A little fearful of what's to come... Feeling anxious but that just means I am living in the future. I must remember to stay present in today - otherwise this sobriety thing isn't
901let it die that what will be in the future will be. The only way it will re-ignite is if one of us both of us re-engage. But, I wonder if he has boundaries for me. If
912Heart palpitations - Anxiety super increased. Started new drug that feels really off-putting. I started feeling that, "Please don't go - will I see you again" I miss him
923They say everything happens for a reason some people only come into your life for a season. I know I was meant to be here with Kevin to truly let him go. He wasnt the man
932can andor will be going back there. My energy levels are stable and feel 0 desire to smoke. When my mom worked me up this weekend I grounded myself I breathed it actually

1033Is Eric up to Howards or my parents standards NO. He is a surfer not highly educated - barely knows his grammar but he does know how to love how to treat me like I need to
1043I think I gotta slow my roll a little put the focus back on me my recovery. There are many loose ends to tie up and I am moving a little fast. I am crazy attracted to his
1053I also haven't had my period yet which makes me slightly nervous but I'm expecting one any day now This has been a really crazy ride thus far - what a tragic amazing journey.
1063Don't kiss Built up resentments Don't like friendscan't hang out What values don't we share - Loyalty - Financial -
1073For so long the softer, shyer, quieter side of me has been in hiding. The sweetness that once encompassed me wrapped me up left me when my brother died. All of the affection -
10811Things you do want - 1. Affection - holding hands, kissing, hugging, sweet forehead kisses, face rubs, 2. Laughing - making me laugh able to laugh me self 3.
1092Feeling needy - ping ponging between men at this point - even though I am likinginterested at different times for different reasons. But feeling out of sorts. Confused. Not

1214A peaceful place. It snowed this morning and so I slept in and missed my flight. Eric is being bizarre - states he is sick but I actually think he used the other day. I can't
1223Day one for me. It just makes sense for my life, mood, energy, and future. There is no rhyme or reason. Well there is a reason those reasons are greater than my desire to use.
1232What do you want from this life - Passionate - great sex - surprises - adventure - laughter - play - justice - friends - wideopen spaces - restorative practices - emotional
1243I actually think he relapsed isn't telling me. It hurts my heart to think that he is using that I may have triggered it. Boredom is deadly for me. It is the main reason for
1253come true and I can't do anything to jeopardize it. Some people come in your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Maybe Kevin came into my life for a reason; Neil came into
12642-6-19 Mercury Retrograde. Pisces. That's the reason and here's to a new season. I did it. I changed the trajectory of my world for a short period of time or forever. I did

1293I have a call with mom dad this evening 8pm. I have to practice patience tolerance for their feelings all that is said. And so, we start again. This really gets old. I am
1303sweet, distant, tired, and confused. It's a lot with me moving and dad potentially running. I'm going to a meeting at some point today. I will not continue down this path or live
1312I feel different this time - I feel 'ok' with being alone doing things on my own. This shift came in Florida when I was forced to figure it out on my own. I'm not scared like I

133531219 So.. we are running. Announcement will be in April or early May. It is all super anxiety producing but I just have to take it one day at a time relax. I know the move to
1341right move Literally. I'm nervous that I'll get closer to Eric then will have to detach from him as we move further into 2020. He isn't the guy that I would normally go for
1353I'm not certain they can will return. I do know that I have to stay away from the Devil - it only brings me more anxiety, fear, pain. There is nothing good that comes with
1361stop doing it- it makes no sense. Eats away at my self-esteem I am isolated for days at a time. I had all these plans for today finally was feeling good again. But when I feel
1373E has also been so supportive he asked if he could come stay with me for the next few days - timing is off not right but a sweet gesture. It's kind of nice to have someone who
1382so I can't really make a stink about it although I am hurt beyond belief. When I think about the fact that he didn't come visit me in treatment, I am actually crushed. He gave
1393life the same time there is a lightness - of doing things differently - finding a new way to live. Making it on my own. Depending on myself for life. Feeling stronger better
1401the way I planned. It's insane and my ability to forget despite negative consequences is what you call addiction. The restlessness is real. The limbo feels super unsettling and I

1424This day next week, I will be on my way to Del Ray beach Florida. I feel a little under prepared but not much I can do about it. I'm doing the best I can. I have to clean out my
1433least 6 months. It all feels like a little much. But I am confident that I will do it - There is a piece of me that feels that I should get a U haul - Bc I have so much stuff
1445broken into. But maybe we just drive through the night. If we leave 5 pm there is a chance of getting there by the following morning. Plan for trip. Sunday - make sure entire

1486I am feeling uneasy about it all, Maybe this is how it's suppose to feel - feeling as if this is completely normal. If I didn't have high emotions and it's first day of nothing
1492but when will I see my girl again. April probably. I can't believe I leave in 6 days. I am now going on Sunday - but that may change. I went to the Hamilton Hotel and saw the
1502The right decision Sometimes I feel like I'm making a mistake - that I should stick around here do what I need out of NYC - but that also is a little late. 4.2.19 Moved in
1513I'd like to keep it that way. Although it's somewhat difficult when E is on drugs - I want to be supportive but don't know how. He will either need to detox on his own or go back
1525I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it. It's been 4 days without one 3 days without the other. I am starting to come back to life. I am not ok with what's going on - he has to

1633Here we go again The anxiety worry is palpable. I realize and understand that this is my journey and I need to figure it out for myself. I need to get clear and relaxed about
