You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

This thread speaks to me.

I lost two marriages due to drinking. Not because they left me due to my drinking, but because I married two men that I never would have accepted if I'd been sober. We were entirely incompatible but I never noticed.

I, too, really would like to meet someone special. But I'm holding off to focus on sobriety for a little while so that I can bring my A game to an awesome partner.

I make no moral judgment about drinking, but I know that my next partner will need to be as committed to health, spirituality, and personal growth as I am. And I don't see how such a person will have much time for or interest in alcohol.
