I certainly don't want to be a downer... it just seems that if it's important for the alcoholic/addict to not get involved in a relationship early in recovery... shouldn't the same apply to codies?

If we have these triggers... they are indicators that we are not well yet.

Don't get me wrong... I'm all for rainbows, moving on and happy endings... for me... right now if anything breathes on one of my triggers... and it goes off... it reminds me I have a ton of work left to do... on me.
Thanks, Hammer.

I too thought about the "click" and really analyzed what that might mean. I almost didn't write it, but trying to be brutally honest in this forum.

#2 : don't know. Just don't know.
