Wow, we have sobriety, not leprosy!

Be thankful that when it is time for a relationship your standards will be on point and you won't be settling!

Forget whether it's YOU that are marketable, it's THEM now who are going to have to make the grade. Where before it was easy to pour that fuel down your throat and find whoever looks good to talk to that's all going to change.

For perhaps the first time in your life your choices and decisions as to who you decide to date are going to be valid. An actual healthy relationship, imagine that!

It's like you're putting a stamp on your forehead that says "Recovering Alcoholic" and you're focusing on your PRIOR shortcomings. Sobriety opens up a whole new world of goodness now that was not available to you before.

Be grateful for that. No longer is the worry as to who will have you, it's the question as to whether you will have THEM! That and the fact that whoever that ends up being, you made the choice for the right reasons.

We are sober now and we deserve better! Sobriety is not a downfall in the dating scene, it's a benefit. Is the pool smaller? Sure, but what's in that pool has far more quality than we ever had access to before. Anyone worth the time is worth the search.

You DESERVE that.
