Happy sez,

"If I were you I think I would spend some time on my own. Learning about myself, working on friendships. Things like that. Than I would consider slowly getting into dating"

Good advice. Question though, to anyone as well. How have you found the personal work one does in recovery while still in a committed relationship/marriage? I had a very hard time relating to single people sharing in ACoA and AA that were adamant about not engaging in intimate relationships while "doing the work". I admittedly beat myself up in early recovery in thinking that how in the world am I going to do this (recovery), be a Father, be a Husband, be a provider, etc. Etc. I'm exhausted again just thinking about it.
Thanks for sharing happy.
