Okay, this situation that I am in might seem weird, but it is really stressing me out. In short, I am torn between an awesome girl and my love of bodybuilding. I have been lifting for a long time, although pretty much every time something has gotten in the way and I would stop for a few weeks then start again, which almost always leads to me seeing much less results than I have the potential for. Well this is pretty a pretty major issue. I met a girl a month ago and we have been hitting it off. One huge problem is that the majority of the times we hang out involve drinking (usually pretty heavily on my part). Drinking KILLS me when it comes to lifting. I have been drinking 2 times a week for the past month, the most I have ever. My fitness is going to hell right now, but at the same time when me and this girl hang out and drink, we have amazing times (sex is also involved). Me and this girl are on the verge of a relationship, and every time we hang out I forget about lifting and bbing and solely focus on having a good time with her. I think a big part of what she likes about me is the fact that I am spontaneous, adventurous, and all that. In all honestly, I believe that if I give up drinking, then we will probably go our separate ways (we are in college, btw).
I am beginning to realize how bad it has gotten because my best friend, who started lifting about a year ago because of me (I basically showed him all the basics, pointed him in the right direction, etc.), he has now surpassed me pretty majorly. My friends don't even associate me with lifting anymore, and he is known as the fitness guy that everyone goes to for advice. While I am glad for him that he has seen so much success, to be honest it tears me up a little inside, because lifting is such a passion for me and I am blowing it. But dammit at the same time the times that I am having with this girl are like a dream for me. So it is like I am giving up one dream for another. When I was doing good with lifting, I felt good but wished that I had a girl, but now it is like the opposite.
Can anybody relate or give me some advice? You can yell at me if you want. I just need some input because this is stressing me out.
