EW.....
I had been in recovery about 6 months and
I did not stay with my lover of 5 years
My new sober lifestyle and goals did not
interest him.....tho he was supportive.
He planned to continue his drinking.
We simply had very little in common....no children
were involved ..neither of us wanted marriage.
Jim survived....I've thrived and I don't regret the decision.
I took a year away from dating...to explore the new
single sober me....worked out great....
The oddest thing happened to me.....I soon discovered
that all the men the drinking me enjoyed.....
were no longer fascinating or interesting.
I figured out I really don't need a SO
to be fullfilled and contented.
All my best as you work thru your situation
