dating recovering alcoholic
I have started dating a recovering alcoholic. I have known him a while. He was divorced about five years ago. Being divorced I know it is difficult to date again. My intention was to date casually a few times. I enjoyed his company and their was chemistry. I allowed it to progress a bit further.
This person has not drank between 3 and 4 years. He is very bright, kind, caring person. I have concerns about getting more involved with him because of the alcoholic history. I don't want involved in that. I can guarantee no matter how difficult it was I would walk away if he drank again. However I admire what he is doing.
We have similar values, political beliefs and get a long quite well. He is building his life back up slowly, emotionally supports his children etc. I really enjoy being with him. The negatives are the history of active alcohol abuse and is is a bit too clingy.
He attends AA and seems committed.
So all that being said I welcome any information or advice.
