You kind of nailed it for me. I do always run right to dating to make me feel better. *sigh*
I need some girlfriends.
LOL Sunset I still today hate it when other people are right, but just for a split second and then I am thankful for them helping me out.
In AA there is a great many years of combined experience on new rerelationships in early sobriety. That experience has shown that most of the time new relationships in early sobriety result many times into relapses.
In AA it is strongly encouraged that in early sobriety the men stick with the men and the ladies with the ladies, we have found that one stands a far better chance to get thier sobriety on solid ground by thier primary focus being on recovery.
I may be 56, but I am not dead, if I had been single when I first got sober and then decided to have a relationship with a lady....... I have to be honest with you and myself, a lady friend could easily become my first priority rather then recovery.
