Nothing helpful to add beyond the "run run run" refrain.
Since others have mentioned hit however just random thinking... I do sometimes wonder about "new to recovery" definitions. To me a year sober if one is actively working their recovery is no longer new. I have seen and met people however that while sober are still very emotionally unstable after a year, and sometimes many years. I do wonder if the therapist meant he wasn't emotionally stable enough to handle a relationship which was born out?
Go live your life and don't look back.
