I'm not always good with my words... But yes I know that I'm the priority in my life. What English Garden said was more of the way I meant it. That his health and sobriety are my priority over a romantic relationship with him. We were friends first and I am patient. We feel a connection with each other we've never felt before. I'm willing to wait till he's ready and be supportive for him in his recovery. He has not lost his focus at all, he is still going to several meetings a week and working with his sponsor.
As far as a sexual relationship at this point we aren't even close to that, but thank you!
Thank you again for your honest input.
