Thank you all for you opinions and advice, it's exactly what I am looking for.

Yes, I know I would take static about dating in the first year of his recovery. His sponsor, although he may not believe it's a great idea, speaks openly to him about it and continues to keep his focus on the steps. My sponsor has just advised to take it slow.

I guess by saying I want to be as supportive as I can, I meant that I DONT want to engage in typical codie behavior. I am very, very aware that he does not need me, and that his recovery one way or another has nothing to do with me. I have learned this through my own program.

I will continue to work the steps, take care of me and make sure that things don't move too quickly between us. I do care greatly for him, and if that does mean taking a step back for 6 months, I would gladly do so.

Thank you again.
