I will try to get better for exactly 6 months

I will try to get better for exactly 6 months. Not pretend, not play along. Actually try to get better, until November 13th 2026. When I joined this forum, I never thought I'd try that again. I have tried and failed to recover so many times. Countless times.

But, after having been on kind of a bender last weekend, I started chatting with someone, and now I'm in love with them. I have been honest with them, but I have not told them about this site. They said it upset them, and I didn't want to lose them, so I've agreed to try to get better for 6 months, then reevaluate. I guess this is somewhat of a new start.

I already regret having agreed to try to get better, but I've gone on a walk with a dog today, managed to do some things I've been putting off for weeks, and did only drink water so far today. It's a start, I guess.

It is so wonderful that you found a reason to give yourself another chance and committing to six months of genuine effort is a huge step. I really hope this path leads you somewhere beautiful. Wishing you good luck for this new start! ♡

Today was a really stressful day but now I am so happy. The guy I'm chatting to just makes me so happy

It's always nice when you find the strength to look to the future.
