First congrats on 3 months!

For me, I was glad that I was not in a relationship during early recovery. I have enough of my own baggage to deal with, I didn't need to worry about someone else.

There is a reason they tell people to wait a year before starting a relationship and that is because we usually need that year to work on ourselves and our sobriety.

I also adopted this motto: no person, place, event or situation will ever be more important than my sobriety. And it has helped me step back and put things in perspective and priority. And it makes me think about if something or someone is really good for me or is going to interfere in my sobriety.

If I don't have my sobriety, I will have nothing.
