Hi Woozy,
Thanks for postin & welcome...ironic you asked about being intimate in sobriety. I chaired 12:30pm open disc mtg @ home group & got whole new meaning of open disc! lol A girl visiting GA from Jersey was sharing how the 9th step promises were being realized in her life & she never fathomed "sober sex" till now...of course room roared in laughter & after she finished I chimed in & said twas hard to comprehend it too but mine's by default which is another story for different day!
Easy does it; don't try to get & undstd evthg all @ once ie trying to work steps, new friendships or intimacies, trying to stay sober etc. U'll become overwhelmed & go right back to the bottle. Concentrate right now on u're sobriety in the 1st yr then after that u'll have gotten a hold on managing u're life before getting on another
Best wishes
