I like so many of the others here highly suggest you move slow and with extreme caution. Alcoholics are very needy people with a lot of codependency issues just like your AA person. First he lays it all out on the table and now it's off to the meetings next lets jump in the bed, etc. Hope you can see so far it is all about him! What about you and your feelings? Every relationship has to be open and honest with extreme consideration for each other, something many alcoholics are incapable of.

If you want to do some research go to you-tube and look for videos of Bill W. / Dr. Bob or Louis Wilson or any other videos pertaining to AA - NA - Al-anon. you may find the helpful. If are not sure Bill W. and Dr. Bob are the founders of AA and the principle of one alcoholic helping another alcoholic to help maintain their own sobriety. Louis Wilson is Bill W's wife and the founder of Al-anon. This is one lady that endured tremendous pain and sacrifice because of her alcoholic husband. You may also want to watch the movie Bill W. it's about his life and the beginning of AA.

Look at was has already become an obsession of your life since you met this guy and he spilled his gut's. All of a sudden your consumed with alcoholic anonymous and what it is all about and your life is becoming a victim of an Alcoholic. As they say take it one day at a time and be prepared to leave at a moments intuition's urge.
