Some of you will know that a girl came into my life a few months ago. We gelled as friends quickly and I became very fond of her romantically just as quickly. Then I discovered that she was seeing someone, someone I know. I was not happy and I almost fell into a trap of self-pitty. Almost.
Well since the last thread/post me and her have simply become much better and closer friends. I am very glad of it too. I love being at work when she’s there. I love her company. I am a happy bunny.
On first meeting her I suddenly had the motivation to pull myself into shape, get fit, stop drinking.
The discovery that she had started going out with someone else nearly put a stop to that. But then one day, after many days of soul searching, I picked myself up and picked up the routine. Now I am back in the habit of getting fit.
I only drink when I’m off work. I don’t drink the night before work. I am drinking now as I am off work tomorrow (been working for nine days straight). I have drinking under control. Basically my reputation and career is too valuable to fuck it up by drinking every night, so I know I won’t.
I’ve had precious few female friends in my life. I never knew a friendship could be so rewarding.
I love my newest friend 
sad eh.
