Hello mahym.
As a recovery alcoholic. I needed time the sort a lot of things out.
I wasn't ready to get involved in anytype of commitment within
the first years of being sober. AA also suggested that I don't
make major changes or get into a relationship within the first year.
I needed to establish a foundation for my reocvery.
My recovery has to be the most important think in my life.
I had to do for myself, not the family, job, or whatever.
First thing first...without my recovery everything else is piontless.
I suffer from alcoholism and as of today, there is no known cure.
It takes time 6 months is relatively overnight. I spent years drinking.
I still didn't know now to process a lot of my emotions in the first years.
I had a hard time expressing myself...just a lot of learning how to live
a healhty life.
Anyway...I love women in general. Seriouly, I can fall totally
in love with a woman becuase of her scent and loose myself in her.
I can't live with them and I can't live without them.
Dating was a step forward, I didn't want to get ahead of myself
I just needed time to live with myself. Sometimes between going
to work and attending meetings, reading, jounaling, working with
other recoverying alcoholics....time flys.
Anyway, everyone have certain guildlines we try to follow in one own's
recovery...
Yeah...the god thing was cool, but skin feels good too.
I hope that helps
