I'm in the same boat. I'm 29 and single (have been for over four years due to my abuse of alcohol keeping me at home) and now that I'm starting my sober journey I'm just looking forward to learning who I am, what I enjoying doing again and making a new group of friends who will be supportive of my choice. I hadn't heard of the one year rule until coming to this site but I think it's a good idea. Let all of us singles stay strong in our journey!
