I did that when I first got into recovery in April...I hope I know better this time...That lesson, which I learned the hard way, was provided by none other than a recovering addict with three and a half years clean time under his belt...oh, he also had a long term girlfriend and some other side action besides me. Yeah, I thought it was love....That man talked, ate, drank, breathed the 12 steps, but I guess he believed in the 13th step too...
I don't need to get laid more than I need to stay clean.
He doesn't stay in touch so I don't know if the relationship had any effect on HIS recovery. I relapsed, big time and several times worse than I ever had before...but somehow, I ended up where I need to be. In spite of my reactions to the relationship some of what he'd said to me regarding NA stuck in my head and sounded damn good. I'm recovering in NA now. Ironic...huh?
I like this...
