getting into a relationship - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

dolphin_girl200 · 12-26-2005, 05:37 PM

I'm looking into getting into a relationship, I was in treatment with this person and we both got into alot of trouble because of flirting, we've been staying in contact since I got out and are looking into getting into a relationship but the only thing I'm worried about now is he's been out drinking for the past few months, he's not back to doing his DOC but I think this could lead him back to it...any suggestions?

I think you would be dabbling in something very dangerous to your sobriety to get involved with someone who isn't taking their sobriety seriously.

yes.. ;o)

put relationships on the very end of your list of things to do.

and leave it there.

Now.. get busy living your own life.

Sounds like big trouble to me....Obviously he isn't dealing well with life
if he is now drinking. I feel it is just a prelude to his DOC....
Take care of yourself.

In my experience, rehab romances generally end in disasters, sometimes fatally so.

Two drowning people tend to pull each other under long before they reach the shore...

Hi DG

Sounds a bit dangerous to YOUR sobriety
