hey ladies! this is the 1st time i've entered the woman's only part of this forum - i haven't made it much further then the newcomers section.

TGIF to all

Just wanted to write a little something to see if anyone can relate because i haven't really met anyone in AA yet who is going/went through my situation.

I'm 46 days sober hangin in there. My bf and I have used together for our whole relationship ( 3 1/2 yrs) minus these 46 days (cocaine being our primary, then switched to alcohol before we got sober). Hmm, well i'm working the program, he is not (yet, hopefully one day), just remaining sober which im grateful for that believe me, things would be so much harder if not.

Well my thing is, it's just kind of weird sometimes, were learning to like each other again almost? Both being so new in sobriety, we are just like hmm, so this is it - this is our life now. A part of me fell in love with well, that he was sick like me, always down for the crazy ride of drugs and alcohol. We had a crazZzZY ride, but I know there was love, there always was. I'm hoping that keeps us together and strong, and I do still feel the love even while being sober, we care a lot for each other.

Hmm, what else, intimacy. Of course, drinking makes that wild child of us come out, the sex kitten per say..i feel like that's lost, in both of us - i don't know, its crazy just trying to adjust in a relationship being sober, living sober.

Just reaching out to any woman who have gone through something like this, getting sober with someone you used with? I'm not sure even how to ask it, but hopefully someone maybe can help - thanks!!
