Please disregard my name, I created it awhile back when I was in a troll state of mind for some other board.
I have been sober from alcohol and drugs for over 2 years now, but have been going crazy over the holidays. My alcohol/drug (weed, adderall, anxiety meds) use was keeping me unemployed, I was living at home with my parents, and had no confidence. I kicked that habit over two years ago after many attempts and stayed stopped hanks to willpower, a desire to change, and a support network. I now have a great job, I live on my own and have been doing crossfit to get myself in shape.
But I still have no confidence and it has really started to eat at me. I can't kick the anxiety on these dating app dates, and it affects my game. All my friends have either gotten married, are paired off with girlfirends, or moved away so I don't have any guys to go out with anymore. And it's tough for me to be my best self when I'm out anyways because of this anxiety or whatever is plaguing me. Fucking Beta Male syndrome or something. I know I am smart enough, good looking enough, in shape enough, in a good enough life situation to get a lot of pussy, but I just cannot seem to make it click.
I am going to drink and start smoking pot again if I cannot get this problem handled, even though I know it's a temporary fix with a lot of long-term consequences. But I'd rather fucking live than just survive sober and be a nice guy that some girl settles for in her mid-30's because all the other guys have been taken and she wants to have kids (who know our kids would be mine?)
Wondering if there are any guys to go out with and trade off being wingmen in the DC area because I gotta get this shit under control, and despite all I've overcome in life I can't seem to get this thing handled on my own.
