i can find no where in the book Alcoholics Anonymous where it says to avoid any relationships for one year. I do find in the book Alcoholics Anonymous page after page of insightful examples of self reflection that teach me how to treat myself and others.
I think if I follow the directions I find in the book Alcoholics Anonymous I find ways to not just live sober, but how to rebuild my life and my relationships.
I do place my sobriety above everything else. And like others say, when I find myself in any situation, alone or with someone else, I consider the ramifications of things going sideways, not my way, and whether it will jeopardize my sobriety. Always.
And I do something else: I place others before myself, except when to do so would jeopardize my sobriety or serenity. If not, I turn around and walk the other way, slowly, without malice, checking to see if they are OK by looking over my shoulder.
