There is of course no norm that you have to go by. But I do believe what you are basically still searching for is a meaningful relationship with a man. You don't have to believe in marriage, and you can be sexually as you like - especially in the United States. The guiding line is whether your behaviour works for you or not. If you behave in a certain way and you are not happy, that is an indication that you are not behaving in a way that is suitable for you. That is all you need to go by.
Even though I feel I am basically cured, I am still going to go for therapy. Because I feel I need to give myself the best of chances to keep myself happy. And what have you got to lose by going? Nothing. Compared to what you might get. So atleast until you get rid off your drug dependncy, keep going to therapy. It would be very hard to get rid of drug dependancy by yourself.
> But I don't want to see her anymore. I don't feel like I need to. Is that scary, or what? Is it? Am I wrong because I don't believe in marriage, am I wrong because I know love is transient, am I wrong because other women, and men as well, have made me feel bad about my own strong sexuality? No. I'm not wrong. I'm me, and there are other people like me, too. And I know that for a fact, people who live good lives, who aren't caught up in the social "Norm", trying to maintain that, trying to make us all more and more like sheep. We don't all need to be sheep.
> I can be sexually free, I can be myself and I don't need to feel ashamed.
> I'm almost done with this.
