These have been 3 pretty tough months in my coming out process. Practically everyone that needs to know does know; that is family and friends.
It is very tough at times. Actually, it is tough most of the times since I have not fully accepted myself.
I practically forced myself out of the closet and I have no regrets. Regardless of the anxiety and fear, coming out has been a very liberating feeling and I regret not doing this at an earlier age.
In the past 3 months I have had to deal with illness in the family, although this has been overcome successfully. While dealing with this, my coming out and the consequences of it, not going to the gym, etc., I turned to alcohol for relief. I almost turned a disaster. My temper was brutal, I was constantly sad and crying, and I just drank and drank to be able to cope with all and fake a smile to those around me.
I have corrected this behavior. I am now back to my senses and if for some reason anyone feels I have been withdrawen and insensitive, please forgive me. I am back and going nowhere.
Love you all.

Just to be a little nosy, now that you are out, now that there's no secret, how do you move on? Thinking of me, I always plan for the worst, so when it doesn't happen sometimes I find myself not sure what to do since I wasn't expecting things to go so well.
How does your 2012 looks like to you? What (if anything) do think you need to work on now in terms of your life and your family?
Hippo, my plans are to transfer to a more progressive city away from home. I need to find me a private place, my space. I need to rediscover love with a guy, a guy who will love me back and will make me happy.
I have never experienced true love or have made love. I have spent my whole life pretending.
2012 is my time to get my life on the right direction. I am really not worried about peoples reaction. My family was told by my older brother who I told. They made it cleasr that they supported me. I told them thanks and also told them there is no need to discuss it, because there is no justifying needed to do and that with their knowing and acceptance was all I needed from them.
You have more experience than I in this, so what do you think of the above?
