KL,
Don't set yourself up with huge expectations. You are starting a new life. The first step was to leave the old life that was toxic for you. It is a huge thing that you stopped answering those calls. One step at a time.
This weekend isn't the time to be facing crowds if that is stressful. Take one baby step at a time. Every day do one TEENY TINY LITTLE thing that is good for you. It will build up. It will. The little things become the scaffolding for the bigger steps that you will eventually be ready for.
Don't compare yourself to a Hollywood image, where image is everything and we don't really know what is behind the image. Especially in KH's day, when the studios controlled the images, and access to what was really going on in private lives was practically zero.
But if KH offers inspiration, take it one little bit at a time.
You are a good friend for helping your intoxicated buddy out. But that can be depressing, too, no?
