Taking time off

I am early in recovery from substance abuse, and I've found that I needed to close my Fetlife account and step away from romantic and sexual relationships for a while.

Have any of you been in a similar position?

mate you have posted in BDSM category, that is why you probably didnt get any responses. regardless, I suppose that taking self care breaks always helps, regardless what situation you are in

Oh I was trying to talk about taking time off from BDSMand relationships in general

Oh I see. taking time off things to tend to yourself is a great advice. I would follow it. Not too long, but a small while would be great. What do you think?

First, Iwould like to say congradulations on your recovery! Secondly, I can see why you would do that. These encounters can be distracting; also hanging out with the same crowds and putting yourself in the same situationscan make you desire the substances again. Keep up the good work!
