Hi. I am from Illinois and just signed up. I am struggling, YET I am four years clean. My clean date is 4/17/05. My problem has been dating men that drink even though I am a member of NA. I've been around the tables for ten years now and problems with men have taken me out before some years back. I became attached to a woman I used to use with and that is how I started meeting these male friends. They are very nice men - they just drink and smoke pot and I have no business being around them. The only thing we share in common is that we like to watch movies and go out to eat together. BUT I can do that with my NA friends. This is the reason I was looking for a forum like this on the internet so I could reach out to other recovering addicts like myself. Anyway, that is something I struggle with and I did go to 2 meetings today and talk about it and met with my sponsor over coffee this morning. I am currently on the sixth step.
