Lookin, I meet my current boyfriend when he was in recovery for about 9 mos. A month after we began dating and have been together for 8+ months. I have attend a few NA meetings with him in the beginning and only very occassonally now as that is his thing to do. I learn everytime I go to one and that helps me. The road with a newly recovering addict is difficult. There are times when I want to spend time with him or see him and I cant due to his meetings, IOP, work & my work, and that I am a single mom and have my son. I cant fully understand what he is going through and even though he is willing to answer my questions about it he is still uncomfortable sharing some of it with me. As for your guy the decision is yurs but if you want to and understand that recovery is his full time job for a lifetime then go for it. You never know what the future holds for you if you dont move forward.

Good luck
