I was actually planning on distancing myself till eventually we go out separate paths but it seems that he is trying a drug based treatment for his alcoholism. I feel like if he is making strides to improve I can't stop talking to him, he's also the only friend I have who makes me feel less lonely. He makes me feel like a loser because he's constantly talking about what a failure he Is and that gets me thinking about what a failure I M. I feel like I'm genuinely connecting with someone but it brings me down closer to where he's atinstead of bringing bringing him up closer to where I'm at, barring the last few days where I fell apart. I'm asexual (don't like sex) and that's a bit of a problem for finding a partner. The classes aren't a bad idea but I'm beginning to feel pretty strongly the only solution is to move away and I'm also beginning to feel pretty strongly that I don't have it in me
