I'm a 22 year old alcoholic, and I've been sober for almost 9 months. About 5 months into sobriety, I met a girl in one of my classes, and we became good friends. After about 2 months, she let me kiss her. To my surprise, she let me have sex with her only a week after that. After a few awkward sex sessions, we decided we would hold off. My only sex experience was when I was drunk, so I felt inexperienced even though I'm not. For the past 2 months , we still have been doing oral sex about once a week, and leads to me having intense mood swings.
From the advice of my sponsor and some older friends, I've decided to completely end the physical aspect of our relationship. I told her today, and it was really hard for me. Our friendship is strong, but it feels like we should be together. These sensations have been messing with my head more than I want this early in sobriety. I feel dizzy and emotional, and sometimes on the verge of tears (I've never felt these emotions over a woman).
I'm posting because I want to see if the unbiased advice on this site might give me a new perspective. I really don't want to stop seeing this girl, but I think this is the next practical step in our friendship(/relationship?) I'm trying to put sobriety first, but it's hard...thanks for reading
