I am a recovering, 47 year old, alcoholic who's only been sober for 1 year. In the past year I have made alot of changes in my life. I have always known, but could not accept, that I am a lesbian. So my whole life I have lived a lie. That was the reason for my drinking. Now that I am sober, I have come to the conclusion that in order to stay sober, I have to accept this about myself and be honest with myself and those around me.
My question is, I am attracted to my best friend
(girlfriend that is). Should I tell her? She knows about my problem and has been there to support me all through it. My other problem is that she is straight. I am afraid to lose her friendship but lately it is all I can think of.
Can you help me?
You really shouldnt try to turn straight people gay, just like you shouldnt try to turn gay people straight. Tell her how you feel if you like it, expect rejection, thought.

I agree totally with you. I would never try to turn a person into anything else but who they are. But you know what? Years ago I had another good friend, who past away last year, that I was attracted to also. She was straight also. And one day I came out and told her that I was attracted to her, and you know what? She was attracted to me too. She had never felt this way about anyone else. So you never know.
