I wouldn't tell you to RUN, but I WOULD suggest moving VERY slowly in getting involved with this man. As a recovering alcoholic, myself, I am well aware of the risk of relapse. OTOH, my first husband recovered completely and has been sober 31 years. I would be shocked, truly astounded, if he relapsed. Of course, anything is possible. But people who work a good recovery program are reasonably good risks, I think. Look for real deep-down honesty. That, in my observation, is a key sign that someone is doing well.
