Welcome to SR.....this is a great forum with many people who have a lot of experience with addiction, recovery and codependence.

Most of us won't give specific advice because we can't possibly understand all of the details of your specific situation. I will say that 9 months is considered very very early recovery and it is typically advised that someone new to recovery refrain from getting involved in a relationship for at least a year. This is to allow them time to work on their own recovery without the distraction (and potential emotional roller coaster) of a new relationship.

This is just information for you and not intended to be a recommendation or advice. It is just what is suggested in most cases during early recovery. Each individual gets the opportunity to do whatever they choose to do, of course.

You might consider researching out as much as you can about addiction, recovery and codependence so that you can enter a relationship with your eyes wide open.

gentle hugs
