Just going to meetings does
not constitute recovery. I've watched it over the years where people have come to meetings and just take up a seat that someone who truly wants to recovery could use. Recovery is a multifaceted process.
I know because that is the kind of person I had become when I was on my way toward relapse.
Personally I refuse to engage in any sort of relationship where I would need to monitor most aspects of their life.
Life is too short. I try hard to live it to the fullest.
You deserve better, hon. We all do.
Sending you hugs of support!
