Hi I am still around (I am one of those who are guilty of reading but not posting).
I am feeling pretty good about life at the moment after coming throught the other side of a nasty cold, it made me feel so old and feeble
but it has made me take my health, or lack of it, more seriously.
I too have been single for a long time, more as a result of being a hermit than an alcoholic, and I have recently realised how much I had been pining for that special someone.
Well that is stopping right now
I have to face up to the fact that I might spend the rest of my life alone, I might not, of course, but constantly wanting what you don't have and basing your future happiness upon it, is a receipe for disaster (and relapse).
Like Ananda I wouldn't walk away from an opportunity but learning to take pleasure in my day to day life is paramount for my sanity at the moment.
Besides now that I am feeling good about myself I doubt there is a man out there who is good enough for me
