Exactly, MsChief! The odds are good but the goods are odd. Who wants to date another crazy? It's like the blind leading the blind. Cripples trolling for cripples.

Go ahead and date. Unless you think it might send you out and have you drinking. For if that's the case, ask yourself if it's worth dying over.

Or maybe you won't drink. It may lead you to calling your sponsor more and working steps.

Hindsight is 20/20, but the best times of my life in AA were between relationships. The absolute worst thing you could do is find your favorite meeting and date someone in it. Because when you break up, you can't go to that meeting anymore. Not without a lot of grief anyway.

Here, take my advice, I'm not using it. I'm the guy who's first serious girlfriend was a gal I met back in my first Detox at the age of 18. She was 26, had a Camaro, a house, and the Playboy Channel. Washington House, Denver Colorado.
