Ok, he's where i'm coming from.

I have met someone, it's early days. We get on great and basically getting to know each other.

Her previous relationship she ended because he drank. She knows that i used to drink heavily and that i no longer drink, she also knows that i took drugs many years ago. She too has used drugs years back.

She has asked me whether i can drink in moderation, she has said the fact that i don't drink is a positive thing for her because of her past relationship.

I have to tell her about AA and how serious my drinking was before we get too serious i feel.

I just wondered how others dealt with this issue.
