Hi Rita, glad you decided to come back and post this, to reach out for support in your recovery.

How about putting the plug in the jug and keeping your focus on sobriety instead of a relationship?

Three years ago I came into AA looking for a date, a relationship to "fix" the broken person I was. It took over two years before I had the emotional sobriety and spiritual skills to have a healthy relationship with another person in recovery. It's hard work, I'm grateful I stayed sober and have an understanding partner who knows that my recovery comes first.
